Okay, now here is my question - does anyone out there sell kits for large trees?

Something to that effect? I've tried several times to build my own version of
those types of trees, and they almost always invariably come out looking
terrible.

Perhaps if someone out there has directions, if no one sells a kit?

Thanks to your patience!

Hey Timothy,
Trees are tough, but key is to get the trunk can branches done and then add the
foliage. That said, it would be great to see sets on this.

Usually 6X6 studs is a good trunk size, but don't worry it takes alot of
building and rebuilding to get one that you're happy with.
I built this 4 times before I thought I got the thing looking like a nice Bonsai
tree...

Good Luck!
