hi guys thanks for the intrest ,
the root system was a single t-bar sucker from about a forty foot parent tree , i managed to get a fair bit or fine root with this one but seing as it's only been in it's pot just under a year i'm not game to have a look at the root system yet , think i might leave it in it's tub for at least another six months and then have a glance and a chop,eventualy i hope to rid it of the T-bar root system,but have no ideas where to start ,thats where you guys come in

,the root is actualy hidden about 1 - 1/2 inches uder the soil
the more i think about it the more i like the windswept idea
eventualy i hope to plant this baby onto a peice of slate,any one got any good ideas as to what to make a good solid edging for the slate out of ? clay just seems to wash away.
regards
odin.
