Not a real tree, a hanging basket tree.
In my front garden I've got a laurel that is frankly way too big for my
garden, it seems to take up quite a lot of space and doesn't bring anything
apart from shade and millions of brown waxy leaves that get everywhere and
don't rot down too quickly.

My idea is to remove this green giant and put lots of colour in it's place.

The fuchsia cuttings I've selected are all of the hanging variety and I want
something in this space (next year) that can hold up 8 to 10 baskets,
preferably all at different levels.

Something that can be taken down for winter and replaced in early summer
when the baskets will be ready again.

I don't think timber would be substantial enough, and although metal doesn't
look as good, it is easily removed via having an oversize socket for it to
sit in which can be left there permanently.
In winter, rather than have a barren looking metal monstrosity on show, it
can be pulled out, and a pot or planter cover the open socket until summer
arrives and the baskets come back on the scene.

Does such a beast exist or do I have to make one myself? - the only ones
I've seen via google only hold up two or three baskets and they look cheap
and flimsy.

Does anyone have any idea on how to make such a contraption? - my idea was
to start off with a (new!) washing-line pole and weld brackets here and
there, paint the whole thing black or green and see what happens next...any
thoughts?
