I could have made the root system (aerial roots)a little shorter but thats what makes the trees look nice and realistic. So in a sump where they aren't for show I could have reduced the roots about 4 inch's. My trees are just over 2 yrs old and they are 2 feet tall and have to be trimmed about every 3 months.
Also if they are going straight into the sump you have to be concerned with salinity shock.
