I'm posting this tree for advice and constructive criticism.
Collection: Half of a tree that had fallen from a cliff, discovered around mid-December, 2011. Potted in native soil at the time, and repotted into diatomaceous earth on March 17, 2012.
Base dimensions: (L) 31 cm x (W) 13 cm x (H) 10 cm
Height: ~45 cm (from extended soil line to highest branch based on current position)
Immediate plan: Allow to grow freely for a season to ensure vigor. Re-evaluate styling plans in Autumn.
Collecting in December:
Current Potting:
Because of the location of the roots and direction of the growth of the two trunks, the tree sort of lends itself to a raft style (though I haven't made a final decision yet). In fact, I wonder if it had previously been a fallen trunk / branch that naturally ground-layered itself, as the roots are in localized tufts, and the rest of the underside of the base just looks like more trunk. I may never know...
So, feel free to comment, make suggestions, give advice, and offer constructive criticism. Thanks!
