Exposed Root Molave Tugas Bato

Molave Tugas Bato-Vitex parviflora var. parvifolia
The molave tree (Vitex parviflora Juss.) is a plant belonging to the family Verbenaceae. It is a close relative of the five-leaved chaste tree or lagundi (Vitex negundo). Also called molawin and tugas, it is a medium- to large-sized, drought-tolerant, hardwood tree which is indigenous to the Philippines and other Asian countries.
In Sarangani, Philippines, tugas trees naturally grow on limestone, sinking their roots into crevices.

Any advice to this material?

Pre,
what is your future idea for this tree? Exposed root? If it will sprout on the long big roots, it can be turned into raft. but you got to plant it sideways first.

looks like some kind of four legged animal with a tail, decapitated head and all. I am always surprised to see material from that part of the world collected with almost no roots (fibrous). The weather must be so super that it acts as a mist house for anything collected, growing as a cutting in that environment.

Cheers,
Adam
