I'm afraid my vision for this tree is a bit over the top so I'll send a vert by PM rather than putting the cat among the chickens here.


Now you've got us all curious, Stymie! Don't keep it a secret - its bound to be good, I'm sure.

Go on, show us all, pleeease Wink

Hi guys, this is the image that Don kindly created for me and its something to aim for, perhaps over winter.

I like Don's suggestion. It gives it the look of weathering harsh conditions and age. Definitely a late winter project.

well guys, being unable to resist the temptation to refine the tree further, yesterday i went ahead and did some more work on the tree.
Many thanks to Simon and Don for their impressions of how the tree should look, i just hope it survives.

Wow! It's almost exactly like my vert. Make sure that the wound is sealed, sit back and style the new tree next season.
