And this passion has not passed over the years . When a young naturalist grew up, he set up his farm and began growing bean . According to eyewitnesses , the plant comes to life in his hands Berezhnykh , some magic reigned in his lands . They also say that Axel knew all sorts of sentences even as yields had been enormous , and the profit has grown and multiply .

In fact , he just skillfully mastered the art of pruning , grafting and other techniques related to the selection . Gardener was so fascinated with his work that morning to night not out of it : he had not counted on fame , it was just devoted to the cause of his life .

Garden – Museum ” Tree Circus ” But human eyes are curious , and very soon a miracle trees knew the whole neighborhood , the whole city , the whole country . Determined not to hide their creations , Axel decides to buy uchastochek in the town of Scotts Valley , where there was a crossing of important roads ( respectively due to the large continuous flow of people ) ; I transplanted to the best exhibits and already in 1947, finally to satisfy the curiosity of the local ” Barbarian ” – opened the garden – museum ” Circus trees ” .
