Hetty Ninnis, a Eden Project horticulturists and trained rope technician, emerges from the plant canopy inside the tropical biodome of the Eden Project towards a balsa tree that needs pruning on May 7, 2009 in Falmouth, England. The tree - which was grown from a seedling ten years ago - has out grown the 50metre high biodome which houses the largest rain forest in captivity in the world's largest greenhouse and was in danger of growing through the roof. The Eden Project in Cornwall - which opened in 2001 and has attracted over ten million visitors - showcases 100,000 plants from around the world in two giant transparent domes, each recreating different climate conditions. Both domes are made of hexagons of tough plastic with the first dome emulating a tropical environment, the second a warm Mediterranean environment.
