Pinsteps. Suspended orange tree, Jaffa
Places to visit in Tel Aviv-Yafo. Languages: ru, he, en

Among the countless stories associated with this tree, there is one that I want to tell here. The story does not claim to be the only true nor the absolute truth. It only conveys the spirit of the place. One day a hanging tree appeared in Old Jaffa. Many have begun to think and wonder what this means? Those artists sometimes come up with something imaginable that no one can understand. Some used to say it is a symbol of freedom. Some tell children that the first immigrants faced many difficulties and grew oranges on sand and stones. And some say it is just a houseplant that was not absorbed in the shaving house of darkness and had to be planted outside hanging between dwellings. After all the tellers calmed down, they started talking about the hanging tree symbolizing the long and challenging relationship between Tel Aviv and Jaffa. One of the residents of the artists' quarter decided to plant a fruit tree - orange. Municipal authorities suddenly recalled the Turkish law for the taxation of fruit trees. An innocent desire of a Jaffa resident to grow a fruit tree is met with arbitrariness by the authorities. What to do? It is effortless to plant the tree not on municipal land but in the air.
