Re: tea tree
Hi Aaron,
I like the setting too. But it does look delicate which suits the slender trunk the tree.
I think you will have look after it carefully... the rain can wash out the soil, and the sun and wind can try it out too

Viet.

Re: tea tree
Hi Aaron,
Much prefer the new front mate. This will develop into a great tree once the pads and crown mature.
Thanks for sharing!

Re: tea tree
Try a slate slab, could be closer to nature than the marble one. I'm too bloody realistic....
