Humbly submitted

I love this tree Thomas. I'ts been nice to see pictures of development over time.

I really like it with this accent, but my only humble suggestion would be to turn the accent 180 so they can talk to each other.

I tried a picture with them reversed (tree on left and accent on right, mirrored) but it didn't work well for my eye. This one did.

respectfully,
pootsie

I hope a few others will give their preference as to which way looks better. Thanks for taking the time to comment. __________________ Thomas J.

Does the accent plant pot have a design on both sides, or would you have to scootch the accent around in the pot to have it face the other way and still have the design showing? Beautiful, beautiful tree. What is it's history? How old, etc? Joanie

Either display works for me, but I lean a little towards Pootsies. I've also seen befores and afters of this tree and it looks so good, amazing job. -Evan __________________

It's probably around forty to fifty years old. __________________ Thomas J.

Posts: 2,200	Hi Thomas, I have admired this tree for as long as I've been a member here, like Pootsie I have enjoyed watching its progression. I like your original set up, but I think I like Pootsie's a bit more , for exactly the reason he suggests.
