Seed planted in rock in 1984
68cm high - 65cm wide - including rock and base
Pot: metamorphic sandstone

An uninspiring seedling and a piece of rock that had been kicking around the garden ... just waiting for a few idle moments and a flash of inspiration! The tree is growing an a channel carved in the back of the rock with an industrial angle-grinder. I suppose the tree alone would qualify as a shohin, but the rock prevents this.
