G'day Daniel.

Pretty hard to understand what's going on here from the one pic and your description.
A couple more pictures and a bit more of a brief re. "the outlay of the top" will likely to attract a better response.

Cheers!

I think the top needs some foliage mate.

Just be careful where the shari/ deadwood touches the soil. Capillary action will cause it to rot in that area. Try to keep wet soil away from the deadwood.

I'm trying to put the other pic up but I can't.

I bought a conifer recently, and started removing the top soil to see the trunk/nebari. They were well bellow the top of the soil. Discovered at the base of the trunk area like a shari. Or maybe just rotten.
I removed all the top soil.
How dangerous is that and what should I do to prevent further damage.
