Uwane

It refers to visible surface roots that come out of the base to spread at the top of the pot. Some of them also are active in an area near the face of soil. They grow well because they are warmed by sunlight, enabling many of them to stay strong. They increase in thickness as if they are fastening a tree. They become blackish and several times stronger than the lower roots in strength.
