Kingsvilles and rock

Today I cut the bottom of this rock flat, and cemented it to the tray. After it was well set, I planted these 2 old Kingsville boxes. Height from table is 12 inches.

I would try to hide some girth of that trunk behind the edge of the stone. I have a lead on marble trays, which would really help with all these penjings you are cranking out. The last one you did with the huge lipped pot and this pot do nothing for these landscapes. /\|\ III Bonsai-al __________________ Experience is fundamental

But, it's actually possible, though, if you consider that the "shorter" tree might actually be "taller", but much further away than the tree in the foreground.

Might wash if the tray was say... 8 feet by 10 feet. But with these small distances it just don't work. __________________ Experience is fundamental
