Possibly the 2 best stone pines in OZ!!

Post by Sean M »

So a couple of months ago I bought some stone pines off Shibui only cost me a couple of bucks. :D
Not much to work with yet, but I have time on my side with these ones.
There will hopefully be a few more soon, and some trident maples. But watch this space as I do a progression from go to woah. (Or as close as I get)

I think you need to start working on needle length mate - shorter needles will give them better balance than they have now. I'd also air-layer the one on the right about 2/3rds of the way down the trunk.
