I collected this big BC in Feb. of last year......so it's 15 months from collection. It's doing great. I love the fluted base but that presents a dilemma. The base is mostly composed of knee roots.........roots that exit the trunk above the true base of the tree. Now what I'm calling the base within the confines of the roots could just be the upper part of the tap root. Anyway, I'd like some opinions on whether to show off the empty space or fill it with soil to give more of a solid impression. Open or closed???
