Hi guy,

I pulled this bougy from its pot today and exposed the surface roots to help me decide on a front and planting angle.

I have a front I am concidering but it involves moving one of the 2 trunk towards the back slightly, it will still be in view

Can anyone see a problem with this type of design?

Nice stock. There is no problem with one trunk being further back. I would have thought it diserable. Give some depth to the image.
