Ok so this is my 2nd Harry potter reference in 2 days. But the deadwood on the winning tree looks like a deer patronus wrapping around the trunk! So well done!

Beautiful trees and worthy winners.

Great to see this competition supported so well with great entries.

Totally agree with the deer reference on the dead wood of the winning Juniper Beano. Not so much into the Harry Potter bit, but have seen a deer here for a while and love it.

10 years to prepare for the next one folks
