| BOTTLE TREE HISTORY (according to A GREEN FIRE) "Historically, bottle trees were an African custom where bottles were hung in trees to trap evil spirits. Sunlight would shine through the bottle, the spirit would see it and fly in the bottle to investigate. Once in, though, it could not get out. Bottle trees are no longer used to trap evil spirits, now they are just used to beautify the yard, or annoy the neighbors." Here at the Aska Lodge, we like to think that our bottle trees enhance our landscape and make people smile...they truly are a guest favorite!
