First, passing 'product.id' to the parent_id param isn't going to work
unless you have a field literally named "parent.id" in your images
table.
Second, unless you are going to relate images to each other using a
parent->child structure you do not need a tree - and using the tree
behavior for sequencing is silly when you can find a number of
sequencing behaviors on github if you bother looking.
