Exposed root bonsai

[Hannahmm]

Hello Bnutters!

I was wondering if anyone had any exposed root bonsai and wouldn't mind posting some pics and showing off there's. I have my eye on a particular tree but wanted to see some pictures of Exposed root trees. The one I am looking at happens to be a twin trunk... I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures but I would love to see yours!!

I don't have any currently, but I am going to start some pines this spring using the technique from Bonsai Tonight.

Some exposed roots look great...others can be a hot mess. I have a Virginia Creeper I buried deeper to hide the confusion. If it detracts from the tree...is a problem.

Angle change...but pretty much still planted deeper to hide the mess.


Don't get me wrong...I love exposed roots. If done correctly.
