Thanks Luciano, some great trunks - nice age. This gives us who live in tropical areas some ideas for trees to use - for example the calliandra, we have them growing everywhere. I went and had a look at the link, I hope you don`t mind me saying Luciano. I think the trees in the display would have looked heaps better with screens behind them, they seem to get lost in the background.
Cheers Rod...
