My attention now turns to trees. I make the Pilgrimage to Deepdale Trees in Cambridgeshire, having heard them mentioned frequently by designers as excellent quality. During my visit I am not disappointed, even though most trees are currently leafless. Mark Godden shows me round and I feel I have time to make careful choices of species and specimens to be tagged for a later visit in April.
I tag twice as many as I need, choosing Betula nigra as my key tree. It's peeling coral coloured bark will tie in perfectly with the Bradstone Panache product, but also because the lightness of it's leaves and growth habit will allow the ribbon sculpture to be seen as well as creating a non threatening, positive atmosphere.
