Really nice. That blue background gives it such a natural feeling. Like your driving through the countryside and turn your head to glance at an old Oak sitting in the middle of a pasture.

Very nice Peter.
Was this collected or field grown?? if you have been training for 5 years, then you must have got it as and advance stock

I bought this from our clubs sales table at the yearly spring show in about 2002/3. It was collected several years earlier by a club member from a site in the city before it was cleared for redevelopment. The club member was unsure on the direction she would take the tree so she sold it with several others.

Lovely, my old school had one of these (much bigger) growing outside the english classroom. strangely enough. The irony has just dawned on me.
