Root-on-rock

Root-on-rock bonsai, refers to a potted tree whose roots grow by embracing a rock or pass through it. It portrays a hardy tree growing in the crevices of mountain rocks, defying hardships and dangers and growing tenaciously, displaying the heroic spirit of a dragon embracing a rock or an eagle gripping a rock, standing tall and lush, with boundless vitality. The creation of root-on-rock lies in the tree and the rock setting each other off and making up for each other's shortcomings; they must be unified and harmonious, expressing the landscapes of nature through a realistic approach.
