Thanks Darrel, I’ll check those out, though maybe not quite the fine root structure look I’m aiming for.
Unless you want the challenge of creating it yourself that custom background look good.
Ive got some of these very fine roots in my storage that I probably wont use, they are from a native hardwood tree that had fallen over one stormy night. Shipping might be a little bit costly from Norway but if you want them they're yours. I can take some pics of them if youre interested. They still have a lot of the very fine stuff attached so might need some trimming
Aquaflora scaping twigs?
You can see these in Filipe Oliveira videos, if AG is still selling Aquaflora plants, they should be able to order these in as well

Its not listed on their website but I saw it today and thought of you. If it could be of use then give them a call or message and they will be able to help and send in the post.
Cheerio,
Believe it or not, they tell me they are called ‘faraway trees’ !Thanks mate - what was it called?
Found them, thanks Ady@Wookii they are on their website now also
Thanks Bob, do you have a link I can’t seem to find anything via search?There's willow roots on the bay
Do you have any local woodland near you? If you do, and your weather has been anything like ours over the last couple of years, you might be able to find a tree that's toppled over with its roots exposed. I'd suggest that over the fresh roots as they will have been matured by the weather and will likely cause fewer problems. It was the same idea with the alder roots in the water as the water will have washed out a lot of material.
Alder should be safe to use when slightly matured, as would be beech or hornbeam if looking at hedging. Normally I'd leave anything I wanted to use in a water butt for 6 months or so, to mature but I'm sure you could speed up the process. It's not something I've tried but hopefully someone has and can advise.
Think the website got put on hold when lockdown started as a 3rd party we’re doing it, if you message them directly they are helpful and will send pics, tell them I sent youThanks @Dorey - it's funny you mention that, I was looking at their social media photos after reading your thread this morning here: Dorey’s EA 900
They look for have a great choice of botanicals.
The palm brush looking interesting - maybe a bit too uniform for my purposes perhaps. Those Ramous roots look good. I need to figure out how see what specific pieces they have in stock - they don't seem to have a working website strangely.
