My birthday's coming up and when my dad offer to buy me an under tray toolbox for my ute, I said "Ahem!"
And when I said is there something else you would rather, I said "Well.........!"
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes. Still not my birthday for another week!
I'ld love some comments on the above mentioned trees. Particularly the Picea and Pinus strobus and wether anyone has experience with them. the links again are

One of my keenest questions is wether I can produce new roots by ground layering around the graft union to produce better bases and remove the reverse taper.
