Re: Radiata styling
I can think of only one word: magnificent! Please keep us updated. Regards.
PS: how did you take the second photo, please? Would I be right in thinking that it was flash off? Thank you.

Re: Radiata styling
Thanks all!
What are your opinions on reporting this? Should it be left to recover? Or will I get away with getting it into a pot 3/4 the existing tub..haven't looked at the roots yet.
So far as developing it its goes assuming I can get a good program in place and a better understanding of the species I should be right, I am still not 100% on how the respond to candle cutting, needle plucking and shoot selection as I have had mixed results on some other trees..
Daviet both photos are with flash of...

Re: Radiata styling
Nice work 
Much improved.
Now you just need to carve down where the old flat cut was to get it looking a little more natural

Re: Radiata styling
Great job Eliass, it has changed dramatically. Needs carving on the trunk though as it looks a little like an old lady in a bustle with her bum sticking out.
