That is too priceless to trifle with a snide comment.

Thanks for the step by step, they are the backbone of learning for people like myself who know next to nothing.

On second thought.. if I know next to nothin.. my colon bleeds for those who actually know nothing.

As the cascading branch will carry all the foliage for the entire tree could there be taper problems down the line? The cascading branch starts 2 or 3 inches above the base. __________________ Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Love cascades, but I have always had one of the kids restyle them for me by knocking them off their perches. __________________ When I battle with water bombs I freeze them first.

You are so right about creating a cascade or semi-cascade. It is a hard design to make look real, and you've done a great job.That's why I always enjoy your posts, not just the trees, but they are informative too. Thanks. Larry
