Eggs in Trees and Bushes

Germans have long decorated trees and bushes with Easter eggs and call the tradition the Ostereierbaum. Volker Kraft from Saalfeld, Thuringia in central Germany has decorated an apple tree on his land since 1965 and has hung more than 10,000 eggs at one time. The tree drew the curious through the years, to the tune of 8,000 visitors back in 2011 but 2015 served as the final year for the spectacle.
