Re: Peppercorn Raft
So, when are you going to dig it up Alpine?
Must say, it does look good though.

Re: Peppercorn Raft
Really encouraging raft example, love the little hooked root detail on the right. We could do with more of natures examples as good as this.

Re: Peppercorn Raft
It really does have a lot of character, and to replicate it in bonsai would give a very nice setting.
