I have basically re potted it and root pruned after what looked like many years in the same pot . After sorting the roots it has bounced back so it's time for the initial style . I considered a wind swept design before opting for this slanting / literati design .P1080822.JPG

It has at some point had one of 2 leaders leader removed and a chop top . I removed 9 branches all up , wired in a major bend and created a new apex , I hope i have done this tree the justice it deserves . I have attempted to do a ring count to work out the age but the rings a way too fine for my magnifier so i have estimated it at 30 plus years based on a couple of seed grown stock tree's i have here .Cheers Alpineart
