Black Pine windswept style please critique

[Dario]

Hi Eliass, nice tree! just to add to the different opinions, I would trunk chop it low above the first 2 branches and develop from there for a good amount of years
You have some great stock mate, also like the Ash you posted
Here is a link on the IBC of a larch Will Baddely styled in a windswept style. Robert Steven and others chimed in for opinions, but Robert gave some good info on windswept trees in general! Hope it is of some help, the entire 5pg post is worth a read too! Hope it is ok Ausbonsai to provide this link...

Cheers, Dario.

It feels like it should have some movement in the trunk towards the apex. Enough wind to send each branch like that, would likely bend the top of tree over as it grows.

(Very nice, healthy tree though. Some refinement, and it will be more than 'nice'. Good job)

If the wind has been constant prevailing then the trunk would be affected since young and the trunk should have that effect almost from the ground

Thank you all for your feedback. It has been slip potted into a large poly box and soil level raised to cover most of the rock... I appreciate all the advise I will be leaving this as is for this season. Will look at it again next year.
