my new tree , have no idea what it is but she is beautiful in full bloom.
think I can do a root over rock with this one but not sure of the size rock I want to use or how big I will let her grow.

toecap,
My impression is that it is something in the Prunus family, perhaps Apricot. I am by no means certain though.
I'm not sure I would go with the ROR style with this one. I can't really say why but that does not feel right to me. It's very nice as it is.

They look an awful lot like apple blossoms. A crabapple variety is my thought. Gorgeous!
I also would hesitate at a ROR. Definitely wait until we have a firm identification, as some trees do not respond well to exposing their roots.

Well thank you, when I bought it she was just twigs basically didn't know what to expect just thought the trunk was nice and was looking forward to a nice green canopy, went on vacation for two weeks and came back to the blossoms was pleasantly surprised
as the root over rock perhaps that's just too bad for me but I really do like the idea of having a tree that style. was under the impression that it can be done with almost anything if you tease it right and if you will notice in the first picture there is already a nice bit of exposed root but you are right it is already a nice looking tree.
