I am very found of the dragon trees, at the Man Lung gardens web page is a few examples of the Lung style that are truly awe inspiring. As a note on culturist the dead examples are saved and hung from rafters, ceilings etc.. as a charm, to let the dragons soar. Here in this pic I am posting is really the best example I have seen and it is from a Chinese artist. I had a decent attempt at the style using a Fukien Tea named Nessie for awhile, the head and horn carving turned out well but since the species does produce rooting like I really would want the idea and tree was culled. If I ever can find the right Microcarpa material to use I plan to start over.
