Summary:
The sculpture consists of five upside down pecan trees that have been stripped of bark, roots and small branches. Each tree has about three feet of main trunk at the top with three to five finger-like branches pointing to the ground. The branches extend down 10 to 13 feet and serve as legs. The pale wood is painted with a rust/red color. The five trees stand in a row and each tree's legs are mounted on individual circular foundations.
