Best for
Bonsai and tree-style layouts where you want a finished focal piece sized to your tank, from 20 litre nanos to large displays.
Worth knowing
The wood still floats until waterlogged and releases tannins, and moss needs trimming to keep the canopy shape.
What stands out
- 20 numbered designs, most in S, M and L
- Sizes run from palm-sized nano trees to a 1.2 m long display piece
- Fine twig canopy ready for moss or Riccia
- Many designs sit on a heavy base that helps them stay put
