Here’s a better look at that root. I love the way it curves from being horizontal to the pot, to the trunk, then canopy in a graceful way. Going to look so cool in a lotus pot or drum of some sort.Before and after collected englemann spruce styling. First time bending a large branch with rebar. Bent the apex to the right by 15 degrees or so. Happy with the results. Each branch is LOADED with buds to open next spring. Can’t wait to show off the surface root more at repot. Probably In spring 2021. View attachment 264587

I did, in fact. I probably would have done it differently now versus then but it came out pretty good I guess.Love the trunk on that one. You carve that yourself Dave?

I think it looks great. And your right maybe it’s the foliage that needs some love. When you wire it out, maybe you could split up the pads a bit, to come in front of that trunk. Break it up a bit.I did, in fact. I probably would have done it differently now versus then but it came out pretty good I guess.
