Satsuki 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.
They will be supplied in a square cascade training pot.
 
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 and wrap the long roots around a piece of nice stone to create the root over rock style.
