Gosh, this looks like a page of html codes when I first learned to design websites.
Always we hope someone else has the answer.

Can we purchase stock to enter the comp at any time?

I know the Guidelines said that new stock should be purchased before the start date but I live out in the sticks (7 ks to mail box, 100k to nearest town, 3 hrs drive to a range of nurserys) and won't be able to look for stock for a few weeks.

I have a couple for the aged stock section but the new stock I've yet to find,

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Here's a magnificent pine which was originally styled by Dan Barton I think. In view of the black backdrop, I've found it easy to see other trees within it. No re-shaping at all, just by elimination.

Here I see a windswept:-

an informal upright:-

Moving towards Literati:-

No wiring and no growth of course, just directions to go within a tree.
