Thanks to everyone for making your updates. It's great to see the progress and everyone refining their skills to make the best tree possible in the short time frame.

I have reviewed the entries and have moved the disqualified ones out of the comp forum.

I'm looking forward to the next lot of updates from this growing season.

Regards,
Steven
