Making an improvement.

In 20 minutes before having to go to the shops I stole the chance to do the following.

Also it is important to take a photo of the inside of my pocket, (I don't think there is anything worth showing there).

I am not sure if I should have pasted some muck on the rock, I aim to lower the soil level a little each year until I am happy with the positioning.

Any pointers, you know the drill

All looks good to me
Wrap roots around rock, Tie on and cover with somthing, ( plalstic, Muck, Tape)
Bury for a year or 2

nice movement in the trunk

Thanks Ken, We will see how it goes the following year. It pays to have a stash of materials to choose from, things can just fall into place.
The movement was created by a year of intensive neglect and rigorous lack of training followed up by a ruthless selection criteria
The beauty of seed grown stock is that the roots can do some cool stuff when developing

a few tips are .........remove insignifagent fine roots to promote stronger growth with signifacant roots . roots can be attached to the rock by sticking wire to the rock using epoxy resin then simply wire the roots to the rock . hope this helps....paul

Looking good, only tip is to feed like crazy and don't prune the top, let it go free and wild in order to thicken up those roots on that rock quicker.
