Suspended Orange Tree

HaTsorfim St 2, Tel Aviv-Yafo

Living orange tree suspended a meter above the ground in an earth-colored vessel, kept alive by hidden drip irrigation.

This guide to the Suspended Orange Tree in Jaffa follows Ran Morin, the Jerusalem sculptor who spent the autumn of 1993 rigging a living orange tree into the air on steel cables between two stone houses. You'll hear how the city's old Jaffa orange groves gave way to the growing city through the twentieth century, and why Morin chose to give this tree no ground to root in at all. Along the way it traces the drip line hidden in the cables that still keeps the tree fruiting each winter.
