I do agree that something somewhat differential (it doesn't have to actually be ugly) in appearance can help exagerate the point of the beauty of the Quinces blossoms... However that root isn't really doing it for me. To combat the trees need for that particular root (i presume it is the only thing feeding the right had trunk) you might make and attempt to ground layer it closer to the trunk and get something going on there allowing you to construct a fine and gnarly root base.
Honestly a great deal of the beauty of this tree is lost once the root becomes more evident. Smaller images look amazing but once enlarged and the root is visible its a real let down. I say work really hard to correct that root and you will much more pleased with the result.
That is just my personal opinion ..... you are now $ .02 richer
