You're right of course, judging a tree from a picture is quite often nigh on impossible....but the Aussie Eugenias usually have a wild explosive character to them, with incredible and uncontrollable buttressed [like on many a Cathedral] roots, appearing to tangle and race across the grounds surface, well at least all of mine do, apart from one which is a tad more understated, but none of them have such incredibly straight trunks.
For me, there is a kinda Chinese approach to the group [forest if you like] of trees, and I have no trouble with that at all, but would really like to see on this arrangement at least one of the outside [or edge] trees at a distorted angle, kinda semi-cascading over the edge of the pot.
My basic feeling is that these trees have been treated as you might an Acer or [?].
Best I can say at the mo'.
