These are frequently seen as yard art in Mississippi. People in Mississippi believe hanging blue bottles upside down are best because they capture or repel evil spirits.
Landscape designer, Rick Griffins of Latitude designs by Griffin and Egger in Jackson, said in a recent newspaper article that a bottle tree adds instant southern style and it's as valid a form of folk art as any other.
He places colored lights year round on his bottle tree. He also stated you will never have to water or fertilize your bottle tree. lol
