    The "not many people appreciate what I do" is giving a lot of "nobody ever helps me in this damn house" energy and it's highly relatable. Love it.

    I love the idea of adding the rock under that root. I tend to like "ugly" roots like that, and the addition of the rock makes it even more attractive. Great idea and video, thanks!

    • @blahblahbleh__9046
      @blahblahbleh__9046 Před 3 lety +6

      the "ugly" roots give the tree more character in my opinion. The one on this tree with the gap under it reminded me of a long arm reaching out looking to grab a hold of something.

    • @joeyj6526
      @joeyj6526 Před 3 lety +1

      I have a Birch with a similar root but I love it. Although I might try a rock to see how it looks. I think the roots add character aswell and make it just a little more unique.

    If my small Maples put on more leaf, I am delighted - I couldn't bear to 'shave' one so ruthlessly. They are younger, but having lost some over 20 years, and some are 'uncertain' now I want to re-pot and cherish them. In NW England it is harsh so shelter is essential - but the leaves are their real glory.

    I never know I was already pruning branches,
    all I know I have to cut it brunches like a thick hair
    that needs some cutting.

    What a beautiful rock. I sure don't see those in my area.

    Peter, once again, love the videos. You're an excellent teacher and its amazing to be able to gain knowledge on my new hobby so easily.
    Just out of curiosity, how much would a maple like this set you back? Can you pls DM me if thats preferred. Thanks!

      maybe $1,000 to $ 1500 for the tree, double that for installation.
