Some fun with a Broom

Hi everyone,
I thought I would play around with one of the old root systems from a ground layer.

This is the old root system from the ground layer I posted in viewtopic.php?f=104&t=14664&hilit=+ground

The base of the trunk is 60mm diameter. I'm going to try and develop a lot of ramification and see how it looks after a season or two.

Regards Ray

Nice looking base I think it will look great once the branches fatten.
Looking forward to seeing this one progress

Hi mugen,
Thanks for the comments. I think even one more season will see the branches fatten up.

Regards Ray

Looks like fun... You could develop something pretty good pretty quickly I'd imagine.
