The Huge tree sheltered the whimsical buildings, giant lanterns hanging from its ancient branches glowing softly in the dusky light. The structures themselves were all swirls, spirals and beautiful worked metal. It was hard to decide if the swirls and leaves were grown or worked, and the scaled iridescent domes reflected the light of the many lanterns adorning the streets. The sound of frogs, cicadas and birds filled the air. “Welcome to the Fae Court”, a melodious voice whispered behind us….

Huge, mostly walkable tree that looks great - with one caveat
I want to use this in the corner of my region, but will have to relink leaves and branches to extend off-sim. As it is, they'll disappear unless all of the tree is inside the boundaries of the region/parcel. I never measured the canopy but it's big. That said, it's an fantasic piece of work that shares all the features of Elicio's other plant life, easy menu-select options, and it looks crazy fantastic. It's awe inspiring. Could drive or fly a vehicle or dragon thru the root area alone. It's that big. It's still not bad on PE.
Love this tree and other new stuff!
I've been a customer of Cerridwen's Cauldron for many, many years. I was really thrilled to see all the new mesh offerings after some years of not checking into the shop. I absolutely love the tree and being able to walk on the limbs. I understand the previous reviewers frustrations with the size. It surely will not fit on anything smaller than a full sim size-wise. I also purchased the Otherworld Plateau and this tree is perfection when combined with that build. Its a ton of fun to re-visit the Fae theme on my sim with all these new mesh things. Do some reading about the tree and do some pre-planning and you can't go wrong. It's a definite 5-star item in my opinion.
+/- Good tree- though can be pain of work.
We start with the plus:
+ The Tree is corresponds its description!
+ There is an example rezzed in their shop
+ Textures may be discussable- but you get variety for bark and Leafs. Good thing.
+ Nice to have really walkable branches for once.
.... now the Minus (my humble opinion):
- Lamps are far too primmy and provide (at least to me) a rather average effect. Will not rezz them.
- Even i got 128x128 land and 1250 prims availiable, i could not rezz it- as centered as I tried.
(solved that getting kind allowance to rezz with help of the neighbour Land).
- This Tree is a monster. I really had appreciated a resizer script to it. Its pain and took us literally several hours to place it. I am still not done, since the manual selecting and fitting is pain!
Overall: ... I like this creator and his items. So it's with this tree- I like it.
And what you see is what you get, as long you simply rezz it as it is- good. However:
The too much headache with the placing and the missing resizer script ruined for me a bit the fun. And with such resizer-script Sylvharas Isla of Ainar (where I spotted the tree first time) might had their tree permitted to stay as well instead of taking it down again from that homestead.
So after our trouble i can't really give a 5 or 4 star rating.
Once an update to this tree is send out, i gladly rewrite this review. // Elbion
