Wow - thanks for all the support and encouragement everyone.
The tree is going to be the centre piece of a sculpture garden at a brand new school, that's been built and being run on ecological principals ( kinda )
We're still roughing out the design, but the tree is going to sprout from the middle of a circular seat.
So it'll be 3 1/2 foot or so above the ground to start, then about 8 foot high, and about the same span.
The school art dept. want to make the leaves with the kids - don't quite know how that'll work out, but if it does it will give them a sense of ownership, and maybe reduce the risk of vandalism!
Was going to ask your opinions on fixing.
Current plan is to fix stainless steel "roots" to the trunk,and fill the centre of the seat with concrete, then lower tree in.
Maybe preliminary sketch will make sense, maybe not!tree
