What even is that? And why?
Mulberry. My intent is to eventually make something non-ugly from it, if I can.

Oh. It doesn’t look very happy about it.
It might be having a bit of a temper tantrum because I cut through its trunk with a saw yesterday. However, I’ve saved it from a life of obscurity, so hopefully it will cheer up. It had previously been destined to grow forever in the shadow of the much larger evergreen tree that it sprouted beneath. Now it has a chance to experience the sunshine unfiltered.

I would switch the twisty root thing with the maple. I think the trunk coming outa the moon pot would look great. then trim down the maple to shohin size. i'll take everything I've seen, but i'm blinded by love. sk.

Twisty root thing? You mean the pyracantha on the right? I appreciate your advice. But I don't see it as a cascade. The maple was planted wrong...but it died this year...not sure if it was from waking really early. I didn't change the greenhouse temps for one tree. When it went outside...I didn't have leaves on my trees yet in landscape. I think it cooked...beyond what it could take.

yes, I didn't know what it is. but I would think just planted at the same angle, or just tilted a little more to the left, not a semi or full cascade, with the trunk coming out of the high lip of the moon pot would give the roots and trunk a story and reason for the shape. I don't know the sizes of each, so it might not work. just something to talk about. to bad about the maple. sk.

Under the proper guidance this could be made even uglier!

This one from the fourth post is really moving on the ugly train.
Why is this ugly? I like it. In fact I think it's perfect material! (maybe the lower U branch could come off)
This is super gnarly and not remotely ugly in my book.

Food for thought...needs a repot next spring. Not sure about the size off hand. But the crescent Erin pot is disinfected and put away. So...Will play with it possibly. Doesn't hurt to toss one in a pot for a look see.
