Hi John,

So thats the fabled Pinus radiata horizontalis. It apparently grows on the most windswept parts of the Monterey coast. Looks like great material.

Hi John,

I like this one -- specially the trunk line. I have three but nothing near this.

I have quite a few great radiata down here in Victoria.

I think Australia has best radiata pine bonsais around?

Regards.

G'day John,

Congratulation on your first photo posting! Now you just have to turn your monitor 90 degrees to the left ;)

The Mirkwood pot compliments the tree really well and I love the flowing movement in the trunk. Nice taper too.
How long have you had this one for and was it collected or purchased?

Regards,
Steven
