Mind? I'm delighted that you're sharing your gardening joy with me and others. Yes, the short coming of using woods that it will eventually degrade, though driftwood may last longer I surmised? I've a piece of driftwood that I purchased coming home from Fla. vacation eon ago, and that piece has stayed with me over the years, it has been too long, I'm unable to recall its age! It has been that long.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the idea. So you now see where I got the driftwood idea.....from a memory of a distance vacation that I took when my children were little. :) Oh, by the way. I sparked the thought of planting that ficus into the wood hollow because I saw one of the branches that was injured. There at the injured site it formed an aerial root. Yes root! So I thought to myself, if the roots will over time intertwine the driftwood that it's mounted on. I'd have a pretty neat conversational piece in the garden. What say you?

#1. The driftwood before I worked the tree into the hollow.
#2. The ficus in its pot prior to transplant.
#3 The driftwood in a different angle.
#4. Another 'bonsai' made in early spring with a cotoneaster.
