No ring!! It takes away from the tree. Beautiful tree!!!
Just a nice border will do.

Without the ring.

I like the effect the ring gives.

I know you already decided to go without the ring...I like the ring, and after seeing the inspiration picture, I think it would be awesome in a lighter color, brown, maybe, with the leaves spilling out onto it....my first thought was to make the ring of leaves by themselves...

I just like "frames"...to me they complete the project.

Would it be possible to put a small ring farther away from the tree?
It seems too close to the tree.

I like with.

I agree with this. The thick ring confines the beauty of the tree.
