Black Pine Style and Pot

wondering if have you considered removing or jinning the first branch and bending down the next three or four branches--along with a slightly different planting angle

I spent the day cleaning and wiring this one today in preparation for spring/summer.

It's comming along nicely... But still has a long way to go.

how come all branches are flat?

Not enough fine branching yet to create the overall pad shape.
This will take a few more years to get right.

Just a pic as it sat back in January this year, It has since been candle cut and will be placed in a new pot soon.
Over all i am happy this tree has survived and how it has progressed over the past 4 years.

This one was candle cut back in January and was repotted today,
It has back budded well and am looking forward to seeing the new green growth in spring.

Really nice! Love the moss too.

Well done with this tree mate! Unfortunately my limited time on pines isn't churning out anything worth posting.

It is nice Moss but I almost feel it is taking away from the nebari. If the Moss is filling holes then keep it. But if it is just there for the sake of it I think the tree will be much stronger with the wider nebari exposed. Just food for thought mate.

Either way beautiful tree!

Cheers,
Pearcy.

Yes the moss detracts from the nebari, I got lazy and haven't cleaned it off the trunk yet.
It's not there to hide anything.... I will fix it in the coming weeks and post an update.

I had a play with a video editing app on my phone and put together a little video regarding this trees journey

just an update on this one with its little brother

Liking its little brother a lot

seems like you have figured out needle reduction well in your area. They have opened and lengthened to a desired size I reckon .

Lovely tree's Illya.

I wonder though regarding the bigger brother.
Would a smaller more squat tree with more definitive taper achieve a better image?
Ie reduce the height, choose a new lower leader and aim for a more rounded canopy?
