I was defiantly wrong, that is coming up a treat. The roots seem to have evened out in thickness thumbs up.

thanks Brett and Grant, great to hear your feedback.
i was worried initially too Brett about how it would pull the stoutness of the composition off. i think ive got it heading in the right track. the roots seem to make up a nice appearance of a heavy trunk.

I want you to see this as a possibility...not that it does not look good like this...maybe future possibility, for another tree.
I am not sure though if I should post it here.
It is how to make a trunk out of roots...
May I have your permission to post it or should I start another thread. It just that your tree reminded me of that.

The last method filling between the roots with spagnum...can make a trunk out of the roots.

That will be a stunner with some time behind it Hugh. would you consider keeping the lower left hand branch as a cascade and the one above it as the apex, then removing the top two branches.
Visually it will make the tree look larger and enhance the flow of the tree.

this elm reminds me of a tripod from War of the Words.... albeit a tripod with extra legs. I think you should remove all but three roots and name it tripod
