Cheers Watto, I thought so! I'm also impressed by the display area, with the backdrop being tall enough for all trees, and every tree having enough room to share an accent, plus every tree I saw had a stand.

Hi Mel,
Thanks for posting these pictures. Some really interesting trees and indeed, accents.
I love the Hawthorne and the Lonicera.
And I am pretty sure that the accent is not supposed to steal the show but I really like the little tree to the right of the large privet - whatever that may be!
Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark
I think that's also a privet, but not sure. It's the only accent that faces the wrong way, imho. Perhaps they're a no-rule club, but even to my uneducated eye that one jars.

It's a nice little tree in its own right. I'll grant you that.
