Thanks, they're a few years away from being much. What you can't see are the trunks under the soil-there is surprising taper because they were basically growing through holes in rock. But it is true that there is no taper in the branches themselves. It was possible with patience and work, to break the rock from around them to get them up. These that lived, had most of their roots right there under the shallow layers of rock. But you're probably right about waiting. The middle one had some real problems, no branches in the right places, one that goes right straight up, etc, I probably cut off the wrong branch while I was collecting it...I'll have to get a different pic of it to show you. I really don't know where it will go. I do think I won't make any decisions, though, until I can really look more at the nebari.
