Hi Mike, I totally agree with your statements, but I believe there is a limit to the extremes one may go to present certain species of trees in an unnatural form. I also believe a cascading tropical tree goes beyond that limit. I'm sorry but I just don't think a tropical tree in cascade form would be legitimate or convincing. If it were would we not see more of them? Of course the buttonwood which Matt brought up is an exception, but, (sorry Matt) it is an oddball in the tropical world much like the bald cypress is an oddball in the deciduous world.

But what about the many viewers who already know how the tree grows in nature and won't need to "go on". In my opinion that is poor philosophy. You can fool some of the people some of the time......
