Here's another willow oak I've been working on for 3 or 4 years.
The 1st pic is in late winter this year just before repot.
2nd pic shows the nebari. Yeah, I had let this get in rough shape and need to try to make some serious improvements.
Pic 3. After cutting back the curled under and circling roots I decided to try to get more roots growing in the top layer of roots so I gouged out as much area as I was comfortable with as kind of a ground layer. I've had some success doing this on a couple of other trees
Pic 4. Here it is planted in a grow box with the soil covering the roots by an inch or so.
Last pic is from today.The tree seems to be healthy and I'm pretty much letting it grow wild so as to help it to grow a (hopefully) better nebari.
I do want some advice on the styling of this tree but unfortunatly I can't seem to find any fairly decent current pictures with it naked.
I do have some early pics if anyone is interested.
