Rebar trees for the playground


Quicker than long-rooted ficus might be trees of welded rebar...these are commonly seen in California (those pictured are at the Getty) most often as supports for bougainvillea, but I'd like to see them on a playground.

They could drip with morning glory or sweet potato vines most of the year and with snow and icicles the rest.
