PJ root over gnome.

Post by mugen »

Project I have been working on for about a couple of years. Just Repotted and exposed the roots will remove some of the many roots at some point to reveal more of the gnomes wheel barrow who knows might even paint him.

Not sure about the horizontal root / branch over the shoulder of the gnome.
Rest is looking really good though!

Some nice taper on your tree as well.

Haha Yeh that's really just a sacrifice branch to fatten roots I haven't put much thought into the canopy yet. Will hack back most of it and regrow.

Thanks Irish :D yeh definitely needs some refining I'll wait till it recovers from repotting before working on the canopy and messy roots. Will update later in the new year.
