excellent tree. I have a few like that and wrap the exposed roots with a damp cloth. This allows the roots to enlarge and fuse together giving a beautiful buttress.

Very nice!
I like the tip for fusing roots, will be doing that to a few of mine.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
