Re: cool roots
It appears to be a rather old Angophora costata. I have an image of the roots on one too, but the shot is not as impressive as this. Cheers!

Re: cool roots
Very nice root-over-rock yamadori. When do you plant to collect it? 
Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.

Re: cool roots
Nice shots mate. That first shot is amazing. It looks like the hand of an alien!! It reminds me a bit of those tree people in Lord of the Rings!! If you DO decide to chop it down I think I have a nice shohin pot that you could put it into!!!!

Re: cool roots
I'm pretty sure quite a large sum of the population of tasmania would be out to hang the poor kid if he did!
...i think a mame pot would suit its size better though...
