Welcome to Cubby’s Bottle Trees.
If you’re looking for quality that speaks for itself, you’re in the right place. Every tree is hand-welded in my Florida shop with attention to strength, proportion, and long-term durability. This is yard art built the right way — solid, balanced, and made to last.
Cubby’s Bottle Trees “Intentionally Made Better” in The USA!
Here’s why I sell more trees, with more repeat customers, than any other bottle tree makers on Etsy!
No one completely welds (not spot-welds) and sandblasts their bottle trees! Some bottle trees that are being sold out there are only ½ inch thick, some are shipped with many pieces to put together and still some are actually hollow pipes! Some are greasy and dirty. Some are wooden!! WOOD! All my bottle trees are solid steel and are shipped in one, two or three pieces! My tree trunks are 5/8th! That’s and 1/8th inch larger than mine competitors!
I sandblast ALL of my Bottle Trees! Then I wipe them down so if you decide to paint it, it’s completely ready to paint whatever color you want to paint your tree! If you buy a bottle tree somewhere else and it’s not at least sandblasted, you’re getting (or giving) a tree with BLACK GRIME everywhere it’s been welded! Go Ahead and ask them, “where it’s welded, is it black? I will paint your Bottle Tree for an additional fee of $20.00. Trees will rust regardless. Painting them slows the process.
Here’s why you’re going to love that I sandblast and wipe down mine trees. I ordered a “big old bottle tree” from another company. When I opened it, it was greasy metal, black spots where it was welded and not packed up at all. Everything was rattling around in the box and mine hands got dirty just taking it out of the box! It sure wouldn’t have made a nice gift to open. That won’t happen to you with my trees! It’s almost a pleasure opening and unpacking my Bottle Trees! They come wrapped in bubble wrap and packed up very nicely! Your gift will look great when they are opened! I will even include a special little note from you! Just let me know what you want to say and I’ll take care of it for you!
I own “Cubby’s “An Art Studio”. It’s an actual art studio you can look up online. It’s a 1910 wooden schoolhouse and you can come visit me there and walk around mine bottle tree yard! I take pride in mine finished bottle trees like the rest of my art, including my professional stained glass services!
I build my trees by hand, one at a time with Pride, Love and Good Karma! Just search the web right now for “Cubby’s Bottle Trees” and you’ll see how popular my bottle trees are and my bottle tree farm!
I ship most trees USPS Ground Advantage.
I prefer not to add a piece to the bottom of mine trees to rest your foot on and shove it into the ground. Nor do I add any type of “stabilizer” feet. I prefer not to do these things because those trees, built like that, prohibit you from choosing the height of your tree. It’s picked for you by the attached legs. With my trees, you have some flexibility as to the height. You can plant it higher or lower. Sometimes a few inches make the difference. Besides, most soils aren’t so soft enough that you’re going to be able to just “push” the tree into the ground. You can’t do it here in Florida and here have almost nothing but sand. Almost every bottle tree owner has to dig a hole for the tree, period. I use a post hole digger, but you can use a regular shovel.
I can add extra branches on most of my bottle trees or create a whole new style for you! That’s’ because I create them myself, by hand, right here in the south. Just inquire before ordering if you feel you want to add branches. Some of my trees are too big and heavy to add anymore branches too!
My Trees are WELDED, (not spot-welded like some). Solid construction means you can bend the branches without fear of them breaking off or falling apart, period! I guarantee it!
I Promise, if you have any concerns with anything you purchase from me, I’ll make it right! One way or another, you’re going to be satisfied with your purchase! It’s just how I roll.
