Kingsville Mountain
This rock is a structure built from many smaller rocks using epoxy cement and heavy aluminum wire on the inside for reinforcement. It's hollow from top to bottom, and roots have worked ther way down into the pot.
There are 7 Kingsville boxwoods on/in the rock, planted about 10 or so years ago. Overall height is 24 inches.

Beautiful! Reminds me of the oak trees on the rocky hills outside of Gilroy California along Highway 152. Thanks for showing it! Si

Thanks, Bruce and Si.
Si, I know that road, and the oaks have been an inspiration to me for a long time.

A rock like this has to be built from scratch.
