gday drew
i think the moss needs a haircut but overall it is a bloody good attempt for the first go well done
cheers dean

nice mate, once the fig grows and everything sets it will look good, oh and food for thought wat about a nice rock in the moss??

Pat

Hey mate, looking good, Im curious as to what material the slab/base is? Is that an actual rock or is it something synthetic and man-made?

REAL !

@ Dean, thank you for the inspiration mate, but i dont think i should of labeled my landscape penjing, what would i describe it as????

@ Pat, i think you are on the money mate, i have a nice rock that would go well too.

@ Luke, its real mate, i dont know what sort of rock maybe lime stone, sand stone i dont really know.


Thank you guys.

GDAY DREW
to me the moss is over powering the sight of the tree, when i look at it all my eye's see at the start is the moss
what you need to do is try to get people to focus on the tree and slab, so IMO i would put some more rocks in the moss to
break it up a bit and try to expose more of the tree itself, like add some soil to the tree to lift it higher and expose
some of the roots and try to find some nice thick roots to run over the top of the moss then into the soil. and then
you can see some tree and some moss and it will have the effect that the tree is growing out of the rock and the
roots are spreading over the top, so thats my opinion for you it is your choice and decission
cheers dean (dragon)

Dean,

I hear ya on the moss, thanks for the suggestion. But when i was thinking of a little chunk of shangrila i wasnt thinking neatly mowed lawns. They way i envisioned it is the way it turned out, now i just need to let it grow out and fill in.


Im definately gonna go with extra rocks here and there but when i find some nice sharp one!!!
