Now that's a plum! I'm a bit of a plum fan but have nothing like that. I like the foliage shape and the carving, very impressive.

I guess I'm the only one that finds the whole thing incongruous.

The trunk suggests a tree that is ancient and has struggled with every conceivable nasty thrown at it. But the top is suggestive of a young, vibrant healthy plant.

I does not work, it's incongruous.
