3 Leaf Sumac - Rhus Trilobata

Big fan of this genus in general. Thought I should post my R. aromatica, probably a Gro-Lo, but unlabeled when I got it last year. It seems to have survived my first ever round of spring repots!20230526_195327.jpg
 
I love the multi-trunk penjing style composition. Is this root-on-rock or root-over-rock? Humble opinion: the blue tray needs to be a lot bigger to allow negative space around the rock. Or maybe a slab? Don't let my thoughts keep you from showing us more photos, LOL.

I actually intentionally hung the rock over the pot. I did grind out quite a bit of space in the rock but wanted a vessel for the roots to grow through the rock and into. Not entirely sure the tray/pot I used is working, but I made a go at it! At this point it’ll stay in this setup for a while though.
 
So mine struggled a little last year as the soil mix was a little too wet and we got a lot of rain. I increased the lava content this year and the tree did much better. However I wanted to let it get some strength so I left it alone all year.

Here is its fall color.
