Thanks, Kaleem!

I bought the plant this way.
It was sold as 'Corkscrew ficus'....I bought it on Yahoo Auctions, about 3 years ago.

I really don't know how they did it.....I'd remeber this being discussed elsewhere - I guess they diligently wrap the trunk of a young ficus around a bottle (I suppose they wire or tape it) and as it grows they continue to wrap, then when they have the 'look' they want, they break the bottle?

Cheryl....the trunk of the dracaena is, quite literally, tied in a knot!
I don't know how they do it, but I doubt I'd have the patience for it!
