HOW TO...
Grow a Deciduous Tree
This project may take several days to complete because some stages need a drying period. Make no mistake - trees are BIG. Fully grown real trees are much bigger than the model representations sold by model shops. See the guide at the base of this page.
The slide show on the right is a step by step guide.
