This is a Callitris Enlicheri -Black Cypress Pine also known as the Australian Pine . I collected quite a few of these however most were neglected during a recovery from an accident and sadly were lost . This specimen was of very poor quality however with a little bit of imagination and manipulation they have both turned out to be nice pre bonsai trainers . I bare rooted tree 1 as it was still in the collected soil and being solid as a rock had to be removed . It also had a dead center up the length of the tree from which the Wallabies has removed the bark many years earlier . This was thinned out to allow me to bend and manipulate the trunk without the possibility of snapping it in half . This will be a natural featured shari with a little human intervention .Every faults a feature in bonsai , many wouldn’t agree with that statement , but each to his own on this matter . Mother Nature doesn’t create faultless works of art only humans create such works or attempt too and most don’t look natural as seen in the wild . The second tree had a little less foliage going for it due to major die back lower down the trunk . I simply removed the dead branches back to long stubs for future jin’s . For the purpose of bending this trunk i have placed shade cloth slings and hook and hold wires to aid in bending the thick trunk these can be wound down or bigger blocks can be used to increase the bends . With the movement set i wired the branches in readiness for the initial style . A trim of the foliage and shaping of the branches the new trainer is ready for the re-pot into a carved pot that was purchase with a Norway Spruce growing in it . Rather than smash the pot i simple cut it off at around 45 degree and salvaged the bottom section . It came in handy to hold this tree and allow it to grow on into the next phase of recovery . however i was inspired by a collection of Big Bonsai recently seen so i have designed these next few tree’s along these lines . The will be free form slanting styles and while some may frown upon this style for this particular pine ,i think it works well  , again each to his own . .
