Vance,
you make a very interesting point there. Having read your response and then looked at the tree a second time (a lot more closely than the first), I noticed that I toally missed the trunk base. The foliage (and especially the apex) is so dominat that the trunk and base are nearly reduced in to insignificance.

This second time around, I can suddenly see a very powerful (but much smaller) tree in there.

I wish you could elaborate on your thoughts.

Mike
