Amazing tree!
Love the Virts!

 

[barrosinc]

The virts look so plausible! Cool tree, would love to own a tree like that.

Beautiful piece of work. It's one thing to start out with a spectacular piece of material it is another to turn it into a gorgeous example of art as you have done here.

Love this tree!

Can i please ask, when the tree spent 10 years in the wood box, was the tree planted on a tile or plate to encourage that root flare? Or were the roots worked every few years throughout those ten years to encourage flare?

Also, when in the wood box, was it in ordinary potting soil?

Thank you!
Derek

Derek,
the tree apparently was just planted into the box with substrate - baked loam in this case. It was never worked on, just left alone very much. The person had noch much clue of bonsai styling I assume.

You have done a stellar job with the tree, it's incredible.

I assume that the root flare was already there when the tree was collected. He just uncovered it. You'd never create that in a pot or box.
