Hi Andrew,

Thank you for the videos. I have just finished the first part. Are you a professional photographer too?

I saw some pines in a middle of a pond, you know how that works Andrew? Thanks.

Best regards.

I believe they build up an island in the middle then seal up to it like you do with the rest of the pond, like an island. The thing is that they could also be more like dams and the tree just planted on the island. They are very big ponds/dams/lakes.

Amazing!! I can't believe the quality of the trees, especially those for sale. If only we could import without bare-rooting. Did you come home with your luggage full of pots and tools?? Thanks so much for sharing. :tu:
