OMC.... no 'Flame' heard! You are expressing an opinion. You are attempting to try and make sure that the info getting out is correct. When you see something you believe to be 'bad' info it is your responsibility to correct it!

As for this 'flame' thing. ENOUGH!!!! I hope all advise given here on this forum is done with good intention. Yes it would be best to do in a nice way..... but as Al has said and implied in other posts, it is better to be negative about a picture when it requires it! To let someone alone to think what they have is great (if it is not) is a dis-service to them. If they want to learn, they will take the advise and think about it. If all they want is for us to say "WOW WHAT A WONDERFUL TREE" they have the not found the right place! Perhaps my skin is a bit thicker than others..... perhaps Northeasterners are able to take criticism better, I don't think so. I think we all want to hear the truth.... in a nice polite way!

This forrest is a beginning, it will need to be reworked as mentioned above. It will need to go into a shallower pot eventually...... and it probably looks about how a forrest would have looked if I put it together myself two or three years ago....

Keep us posted on it's progress
