2018 Beech Slab

[ml_work]

I have been looking at this clump or slab whatever the correct name is, for a couple of years. If you look close you can see all the trees are melted together. It is pretty large and will take something to get it out. I want to wait until I have been successful with another collected Beech. I think this would be a great display on a slab, have never done that but just seem to be what this would go with. I failed to move the leaves at the right side but it is all connected.

Any thoughts of how to do this future project are welcome.​

Jeeze that's a nice one, how big is it? It would look fantastic as a slab planting!

I have a hard time imagining this being collected, and bonsaiable. It is a huge main tree, root suckers, and who knows what the roots are like. I absolutely love beech trees, but I wouldn't go for this one.

You've got a few low branches but I don't know what you'd do with the telephone pole trunk on the far left. I think it would be a challenge to get it out of the ground with any chance of survival.

Thanks for your replies. After digging the small one last Saturday in the other thread, I realize this would probably be too much. As you have said no telling what the roots are like, I will keep watching it for now
