My blacks

Post by Gerard »

If you asked me yesterday, how many black pines I have? I would have said 7 or 8 but today I put them aside to photograph

Isn't it always the way, someone has been hiding new trees in your garden and you didn't even know it! :lol: :lol:

One of my favourites, probably wrong to call it bunjin but I like a bit more foliage. Always the option to reduce foliage in the future if my preferences change / evolve

Fantastic thread Gerard. Thank you for the inspiring pictures.

7, 9, 11 and a raft that's full of potential. They are they trees that I like.

Well ... I like 'em all but those the best. :tu2:
