Oh I got UGLY! So ugly I will take its clothes off so to speak with why I find it ugly with closer or better angles of the "UG"!
My one sided roots Virginia Creeper...sometimes I ask myself why I even keep it. If I ever had to thin my collection this would be one of the first to go.
I wanted a pyracantha...can't get them around me. Wanted something with character. The roots are a mess...but sort of pulls it off. But no beauty contest it would ever win.
The messed up base...that is rolling to the beat of its own drum. I would rather have this...than boring though. But not pretty.
Can't get any uglier than this right now...the Tamarix that died back from arctic cold in my landscape. Only has one live vein running up the trunk.
It's just...soooo...raw....undeveloped.
Forgot to touch on the Amur Maple...photos explain why it hits this list. It only has one live main branch.
The stub of the dead branch makes a great anchor. Potted in the only thing those roots would fit into. *Need more pots!
