Help me to understand something here. Ted had picked a front based on the root that he seen exposed on your newly potted tree. You felt there were posibility's.

I hit the pot against the heal of my hand removing all of the soil that I had just packed into the root structure. Ted seeing this said "you do have roots" we found that because the tree had an excellent root structure there were four new possibilities for a front.

What I do not understand is, if there were four more possible fronts for this tree, why were they buried so that they could not be seen? Why was Ted wrong when all he had to go by was what you had exposed? Remember, Ted is there to work on the attributes of the tree as presented, not unpot your tree.
Obviously by you unpotting the tree this gave the artist new avenues to work with, but this is something that everyone should be doing before choosing the front of the tree.
