Update.

The spring growth has been healthy and compact as there are now lots more buds to diffuse the growth.

The growth is now catching up with the size of the jin.

I style Bonsai naturally, just as they would appear in the wild.

I don't trust Bonsai, they are a little shady.

What is this one grafted onto Grant?

Also wondering if you decandle as I have heard differing opinions on decandling scots pine in Aus. I have just cleaned and rewired new growth on my scots but did not decandle as I dont think I should but theres always that nagging doubt

I'm not sure the new pot matches the tree very well. Too shallow and too fancy IMO.
Personally I would prefer something simpler and deeper like this:

There's no need to decandle Scots Pines. Just break off the candles at 0,1/3 ,1/2 or 2/3 according to strength. You can remove the strongest if there are 3 or more (which there often is)

Probably grafted onto seedling scots I imagine.

I did not decandle or candle snap this one. The new growth has no internodal bare gap and so has no need of decandling. You can just shorten new growth as the new candle emerges and elongates by snapping it shorter. I will do that next year to keep compact.

That pot is certainly deeper but I wouldn't exactly call it plain.

The Izumi Ya is a beautiful pot but I think too feminine for this particular tree. I like the drum.
