It's no trouble. Everyone has their own pace and style for this sort of thing, so I'm totally fine with whatever, so long as it's convenient for you. I greatly appreciate you agreeing to take the time to help me out the rest of the way.
This technique is relatively straightforward. For all intent and purpose it's not particularly unique in any general capacity apart from the fact that it requires no specific gestures, movements or use of ones own body to conjure the roots. It seemingly frees up the timeframe for the user to be able to manipulate other aspects of the battle at the same time as enacting this technique; things just as rushing the target at the same time these particular pillars of wood are sprouting, attacking the target at the same time with a physical weapon such as a sword or kunai. Simple, but effective in it's own right.
This technique is quite "lackluster" at a glance; most of it's utility can be applied through various other techniques, some of which have more versatility or impact than this one does by itself and still achieve the same effect that this one is attempting to provide. The only thing I'd say is particularly interesting, I suppose, is that it clarifies the usage of specifically earth-based spikes, which to me implies that the earth spikes will have the strength/weaknesses differentiating from the initial wood pillar itself, meaning that the target would have to accommodate their counter to account for both elemental types in order to properly fend off the attack.
I'm curious to know what the general limitations are with regards to this technique, such as do all sensory techniques that the user has with regards to things like chakra sensory, life essence, any prosthetic enhancements bought from places like the Spider for infrared and/or night vision, ecetera, carry over through the Weirwood, or does it remain fixed with only their "natural" eyesight, as in the very basic form of visual?
