I like the top of the tree, but the bottom looks like a bow legged girl I used to go swimming with. I think you could find a cool stone to bind it to, that would help close the hole. __________________ I been kidding the last seven years. no.... really!

Posts: 1,260	Re: Exposed root trident No this girl was never on a rock, It is a clasic example of the problems with nursery stock. Right at the soil line is a donut of inarched root that will only be removed with airlayering. That is the one gallon donut. I may someday do the airlayering but for now it is going to be a chinese stile exposed root tree. __________________ ripsgreentree It requires an open hand to give and to recieve.

I think I would like to see some more of the branch structure and trunk. As it is it looks a bit shrubby. The roots suggest that the tree has had an interesting, if not difficult life, so the top should follow suit. Don't the Chinese penjing tend to be a bit sparse anyway?
