I have a query in regards to viewing cascades
Is it side view or directly from the front ?

Re: Grevillea cascade
Nice little tree there!
In viewing angle i'd say split the difference between side and front on. Side is too 2 dimensional and loses some of the interest in the tree, front on the foliage starts to hide the trunk line

Another calm contribution by Tim

Re: Grevillea cascade
I don't think there is one correct way to view cascades. You should pick an angle that shows the trunk and branches best. On this one it is definitely not from the front

Re: Grevillea cascade
Nice tree!
Cascades seldomly viewed from direct on or directly from the side.
MOre usually from about 45 degrees or so to provide interst
Usually in Squarish cascade pots you pot up so the pot looks the best agle, Either square on or at 45 with tree planted to show it best angles
