So, when are you going to dig it up Alpine? :twisted: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Must say, it does look good though.

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.

Hi People , its a ripper as was the Day . Just a bit too much digging to recover this one , but i know it will fit on my Tamdem Trailer .Repotting would be a challenge .This is one species i must take a look at .Cheers

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