The Hidden Meaning Behind Glass Bottle Trees
Ever seen a tree embellished with colorful glass bottles and pondered about its purpose?
That noticeable display is known as a bottle tree, and it’s far more than just volatile yard decor. Behind its buzzing appearance deceives a rich history originated from African tradition and spiritual symbolism that has encountered through generations.
The origins of bottle trees trace back to Central Africa as early as the 9th century. When defeated Africans were brought to the American South, they carried this tradition with them.
