This one's a little complicated. Avril once asked me why I made it thus, but I told her to stop blaming me for her inability to comprehend. She headed off to the studio and I've not spoken with her since.

So the part count for this set, even in the catalog photo of the set with the
single tree trunk, is 43. Problem is, the set with the single trunk doesn't
have 43 parts. Adding 2 parts tree trunk with branches and 1 part tree top with
branches and deleting the single trunk would get the part count to the
correct total of 43.

However, as I said, an official set photo exists from a catalog with the single
trunk (and the part count of 43). The single trunk first appears in this set
and it predates any other appearance by two years. I doubt the single trunk
ever came in this set, but it's possible.

I'm leaving the single trunk in, therefore, and adding the parts seen in
other versions of the set. I'm open, of course, to input on this.

After further consideration, which always seems to do me good, I believe I have
figured out what's going on here. The original version included three tree
parts (these parts were only released in 1990-1991). A re-release around 1992
(or perhaps later) replaced three tree parts with the single trunk part, but
they never bothered to update the part count to 41 parts.

So what actually needs to happen is that the set needs to be corrected to how
it originally appeared (3 tree parts) and the single tree stump needs to be changed
to an alternate.

The '92 catalog still shows the multi-tree. The '94 SAH catalog shows
the single tree and is where the alternate BL catalog image came from.
