I looked to put it in a bonsai pot as spring arrived, but when I removed it from the black pot it was in I thought the roots could do with a bit more development. One side was good - the other not so much and so I wasn't so comfortable with that plan. Consequently - it got a gig back in a grow pot and hopefully the work I did to the roots will result in a better spread which I can cut back to when it does get a proper pot.
Since that repot, I roughly wired a couple of the main branches where I wnted them, and then let it grow over summer without much attention (just water and fert). I had another look at it this week and decided to give it a bit more direction.
This is the first single flush pine (of any real size) I have worked on/own so I am keen to get into the styling of it and learn about how they compare with the multi-flush species I am more used to. Always fun to start down a new path. Happy for any thoughts/ideas for improvement or any other input.
