I made this root over rock planting from a two year old zelkova cutting. I had the rock laying around for some time, it came from a river in the Ardennes. The cutting fits perfectly on top and I made sure none of the roots were crossing. I tried to create a good flow in the roots, moving them left and right. Pretty happy with the result. The rock itself is pretty thin, so I'm going for a shohin sized tree.

I used garden twine made from organic fibres. I should degrade over time.

All done! The lower 'pot' is a colander. I used akadama, pumice and a little bit of lava rock. Hoping for some good growth this spring.
