Exposed Root/ Root over Rock Starters are a great choice for bonsai growers to create these unusual styles.
 
The hard work has been done over the last two years to get extra long roots trained so that the tree will be ready for styling in an exposed root or root over rock style. From there it has been potted into a larger training pot.
 
This one will be supplied ready potted up in a square cascade training pot with enough fertiliser to last until 2025.
 
Grow them on for a couple of seasons and gradually expose and arrange the thickened roots from the top until the desired length is reached to create the exposed root style.
Or
Wait until spring, clean the roots to expose the long roots and wrap them around a piece of nice stone to create the root over rock style.
