Love it, the tree looks amazing! I especially love the base of the trunk and the bark. Once again, top notch presentation
If only I could produce trees half as good as this I would be a happy bloke

I have two trees in my collection Paul that are not for sale, at any price and this is one. On Pain of death, and the loss of my best friend.
Thanks for the compliment though.
Cheers Pup.
