website, which shows the tree from a good distance. In my experience it’s
hardly ever possible to get a great shot of the whole tree, but this at least
shows the tree with leaves on. Admittedly, the yellow tape isn’t the most
beautiful, but does actually help to call the tree out and makes it look like a
“working tree” (if that makes any sense!).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

possession. Would you like me to search for a “generic” MA orchard
photo for the last paragraph? Or if you remind me which orchards these
signs are destined for I can look for something more specific. Also – I
might suggest a photo of the Bungy Road chestnut to go with that sign – either
flowering or at least leafed out. Nice for any visitors that might see it
after the leaves have fallen. Text looks good.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
