Thank you @Thevictorian That's very interesting indeed. It sounds quite similar to my plan for that beech tree. I also want a small tree-like form (maybe around 3 - 3.5 m tall and relatively narrow). I don't want it to look rectangular, or massacred (e.g. bluntly taking the top off) - I want it...

I only watched bits of a couple of earlier shows, but watched the whole of the final. I thought all couples performed well although parts a couple of the actual routines weren't great. Interestingly, for once, the judges agreed with my thoughts. Maybe I should be on the panel next year. I...
