The trees or the coins?   http://www.collectionstudio.com/en/blog/wish_tree/ (http://www.collectionstudio.com/en/blog/wish_tree/)  After linking, scroll down to see some interesting pictures.


I stumbled across this site today.  Very strange, I've never seen this before, but I thought I'd share it. :)

O, the horror.............Conder tokens all mashed up in a tree :D

The local tradition of Scotland is that a wish will be granted for each of the coins so treated. But don't forget, only hawthorn can be used, it is traditionally linked with fertility, as in "May Blossom".


Very  :signcool;
