Root Over Coal Style
Here’s a new style I’ve invented called root over coal…
OK so Adam’s lost it, perhaps he’s just been working too hard or maybe he is actually going mad.
Well actually I think it’s pretty cool looking. I am developing a root over coal tree which is a crab apple. My soil at the back of the garden is stacked with coal because it used to be next to an old train track which transported it. It normally shows up in small quantities in my pots when I make fresh potting mix. So I thought why not use some of this stuff while styling a tree?
At the moment you will not be able to see the coal which I am growing the roots over as it is just underneath the soil to keep the roots growing. I feel the crab apple is beginning to show signs of being an impressive bonsai in itself already but thought it needed something extra.
It is potted in a 12″ ceramic pot.
