I recently found this black pine at a local nursery, it was quite reasonably priced for such a large tree, it is around 1.5m tall and the trunk is around 95 mm at soil level.I have only had a little bit of a scratch around the trunk and there seems to be quite a bit of spread under the soil. My plan for the tree is to layer of the top of the tree and use the lowest branches to build a new tree. I haven't been able to find much info on 'Kyoto nishiki' but as the 'nishiki' suggest it has really nice bark. Is it to late to start a layer on this tree this year given that I'm in Tassie?
