Guess the size and win

Post by Steven »

G'day,

For a bit of fun I thought we could have a little guessing competition.
The first person who correctly guesses the size of this tree will win 20 Japanese Black Pine seeds. Sorry but due to quarantine laws, if you are in TAS or WA you will only win the admiration of your peers.

• Only 1 guess per member.
• Height should be quoted in millimeters and is to be judged from the top rim of pot to the tip of the tree.
• Bonus points (and stickers and/or badges) will be given for a correct guess of the potter and species.

On your marks... get set... GO :tu:

Regards,
Steven

P.S. A big thank you to Scott Roxburgh for the seeds!
