I was talking to my cousin about the project and she remembered that there was a tree statue in Washington DC's National Gallery of Art's Sculpture Garden. It is called 'Graft' and is designed by Roxy Paine, the piece is made from Stainless steel and weighs 16,000 pounds.
This got me looking at the artist/designer and it seems he has done a few similar pieces including 'Conjoined' in Madison Square, New York City, 'Maelstrom' on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Arts and 'Inversion' at the Art Basel, Switzerland.
The following video shows how 'Maelstrom' was installed on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Arts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td_NVTJaah8
