G'day Andrew - how are you?
I have a backlog of photo requests! I am still trying to photo some fat shohin scots pine stock! Picked up a new tripod today - should make things easier! The other 2 Jacks are bigger than Grant's - I will try and get a pic shortly.
Post a pic of that tree you got from me that your wife nearly killed you over!

She still talks about that. It currently has a frog living in the hollow, doesn't seem to be hurting it, and I get free pelletised fertiliser. As soon as I can I will get a photo for you.

Hi Brett - I think you might be 1 of a few waiting for me to send pics of stuff. Which hornbeam is it?
(Sorry to you, and all the others waiting! Just remind me!)

Hi Andrew - I had a frog living in a silver birch for ages, I loved seeing his little eyes popping out of the hollow! Frogs are great!

OK,
Now back to this Pine.
This is the original front when leigh bought the tree.
Original front but tilted back slightly.JPG

3 Close up showing all branches.JPG
I can understand this side as the front but I find it a bit boring.
Opinions please.

There is an obvious cut off point if this side continues to be the front.

5 Closer at cut off point and you can see previous cut off point above..JPG
Comments welcome

However,
If we cut it off at this point we are left with a shorter, more compact but still boring tree.
From this angle it would lose any sense of a possible airy Bunjin.
Comments?
Other suggestions or ideas?
I really haven't made my mind up as to what to do with this tree.

The most noticeable feature of the tree is that pin-up grace of the trunk, and however far you shorten it, it won't go away, since the branching starts so high up. What I would do is buy the two other Jack pines that Leigh has left P.D.Q. and see if you can make an interesting group of 3 out of them. (Not very useful, hey?)

can we got some other angles of the tree please grant, seeing it from the one angle or close up doesnt help to much with styling advice
