Not sure if I have posted this tree before so here is a new thread.
I had some spare time today so decided to trim some trees that were overdue. This was one of the lucky candidates.

Fantastic roots & some dynamic trunk movement make for a great bonsai... That's a lovely trident that will only get better I reckon... solid work, very nice!

ROR??

ROR = Root Over Rock... I think that's what you're asking?

Not "Raff Out Roud"...?

Lovely firm grip on that rock.

There's still a little space under some of the roots but I hope it won't be too long before they have thickened enough to fill that. After that they will start to spread out and start to look really old.

I like the fact that it's a 'flat' stone. Makes it look more realistic.
I'm not sure if it'd be more a Penjing style if you would grow this over a stone copy of a temple or part temple... To mimic the jungle reclaiming the land...

Hope that makes sense?

Cheers

I do love the trees on upright rocks and have quite a few developing but I also have several other tridents over flat stones. Both have great appeal when everything comes together.

To be honest, I didn't even notice the rock in the first place. Was more focused on the Trunk/Leaf

I think that the tee/rock will be exposed more as it reaches the final stages of development. As in it will end up sitting higher out of the soil in its final pot...
That will expose both a lot more

True True
As the roots develop even more at the bottom it will push the rock up as well as the nebari

Correct me if I'm wrong but is it positioned on top of a brick? Hard to tell

Hi Shibui,
Very nice work. I really like the way the roots have 'grasped' the rock. The trunk movement is fantastic too. This will definitely make a great ROR bonsai specimen in time.

Could you tell me how long it took to get to this stage? I have got some ROR trees I have been growing and developing for the past 2 years now.

Thanks

Jay
