Re: Neagari Forest.
Hi all ,a quick snap of the forest today .Slowly getting there ,cuts have nearly healed over and starting to get some ramification. Thinking of getting a suitable pot although a little stumped on what would suit it . John

Re: Neagari Forest.
Initial reaction on what to display it on… maybe a simple bluestone paver or similar that you would typically find on the streets of Melbourne?

Re: Neagari Forest.
I'm with Sno (26-7-20) - a "tangled web of life" that's only getting thicker and more complicated as time passes. Very nice. You could put it on a slab, with a mound of moss-covered soil, but maybe if it's in a pot with minimal soil surface you'll "see" the roots more strongly? This is where bonsai gets beyond "decorative", and starts to have real meaning.

Re: Neagari Forest.
Beautiful. Reminds me of the Ents in Lord of the Rings, the way the roots are structured look leg-like.

Re: Neagari Forest.
Thanks for all the kind words, started out as a experiment and has turned out a very rewarding one .Looking at photos i might try and clean out the roots and hopefully expose them a bit more. Cheers John.

Re: Neagari Forest.
This is insane. I agree that a slab to promote the roots would be awesome. My first look at your latest photos made me want to put some crab pots out!
I love it.

Re: Neagari Forest.
How big is it John? What size container would you need? I know Marie Hewartson is making largish slab styles now that her big kiln is up and running.
