yew exposed root candidate?

[defra]

Hi there
bought this yew some time ago in a garden center it caught my eye because of The two trunks wich wernt straight like the rest of them

i did nothing about it untill today
i removed the first layer of dirt untill i found the first roots
i was kinda amazed

garbage or exposed roots candidate wat do you think?

no idea yet what style im going for either Any sugestions?

since no replies i guess garbage haha

Hoho, no

I think one of the two trunks must go, but it's an interesting base.

Yeah sorry.. .

I musta been somewhere the pics wouldn't load!

I like the look of the roots...though I wouldn't necessarily expose them more. Maybe even cover em up to fuse together a little more and grow some...

It'll take a bit of creativity to pull it off...
But it could be nice with time IMO.

Nice Work!

I think it needs some development, there are too many roots I think, and they are all the same size / thickness / length, almost no ramification. You should sort them out and let them grow some more, cut some bad ones back / off, and let them ramify more. They need to be moist, so I guess u need to bury the roots some more for now (or in he right season I mean), don't kill tree's in the wrong season. I'm also a beginner so someone will hopefully give some more input on how / when to work on them.

thnx for The replies much aprieciated!

@AlainK i agree also tought of removing One of The trunks but still want to go trough all options

@sorce no big deal i wasnt that serious haha
but thnx for The input !
next spring i Will put it in a better draining soil and Then decide How far the roots Will be exposed

@Cypress187 early spring before the New buds are about to grow is the right time to work the roots as far as i know
i agree they are the same thickness so maybe some Will go but i think they might get jinned before removed

also the roots are at One side and the trunk doesnt go much further down wich is great IMO maybe i Will put a rock on the rootless side to impress there was an avalance wich exposed the roots

There are some fun possibilities there for sure! This fall you can chop back what you don't want in the design, and update us when you do.
