  3. That's a first - a tree that grows shoes instead of fruit! Boy, I could use a few of those - any of those grow size 12 men's shoes???

  5. There's one of those near me and I've always wondered how it got started. Quite an oddity....

  11. Quirky! Reminds me of a tree between Dallas and Ft. Worth (don't remember which highway), but it's often decorated with Christmas ornaments year round. No houses nearby. I wonder if it's similar to the shoe tree?
