Eng22 - after you cut off the points and discard the middle of the toothpick, what is left? [;)] Wedge - it really depends on your type of tree. Trees made from weeds and other "natural" armatures can be poked into the foam, or put into a hole drilled in plaster. Some plastic or white metal armatures have suggestions of roots and so on that should remain at the surface. In this case you might want to do as suggested, and put some sort of pin into the base of the tree. I have seen some neat tree truncks made with paintable caulking that can be flexed and glued down to give that sort of look. Andrew
