The Rocks, Christmas tree

The Rocks 'living' Christmas tree is located along George Street, next to First Fleet Park at The Rocks. It is made from almost 600 living plants, 143 metres of aluminium pipe and 1,000 stainless steel pot scourers. The tree is designed in the shape of a traditional fir tree with the irrigation pipe that winds around the outside evoking a garland of tinsel, while the plants and scourers are designed to resemble baubles. It was created by Brendan Moar, a landscape architect and Australian television host. This is a sustainable tree so the plants will be reused and the pipe will be recycled after Christmas festivities are over.
