I've never been very happy spending hours twisting bits if wire into shapes that bear only a passing resemblance to trees. The year before last I harvested some dead stems out of the garden that had little more promise but at least cost no time or effort. I've used them without foliage to depict winter on the Isle of Avalon Tramway ....

.... and with on the summer set Chwarel Bach.

I have high hopes for a tray of sea foam seedlings that Mrs R has on the go in the polytunnel. They are a second attempt, the first being ravaged by slugs. Mind you on a walk last weekend I spotted some very nice looking, tree shaped, small twiggy plants, the downside being that they were in an SSSI. I'll try and identify what they were, and the what the prospects of cultivating them at home would be, so I'm not tempted to noble them from such an ecologically sensitive spot.
