Quick pics of a few old pines that were recently styled and wired . These are pretty old trees , the left red pine is about 40 years old . The twin trunk mugo is almost 50 years and the cascade black is about 30 years . Sorry for the quick pics, angle is wrong but the trees are in the hot house atm to limit the -5 we have had a night several times last week . Ill put them out tomorrow morning as rain is expected with milder temps for several days . The red needs a complete angle change and new pot , the mugo a repot turning the tree to abit and the black needs a repot downward .
These were styled by a very good artist who I don't think is on the forum but he does work on several very advanced private collections

Re: recently styled pines
I like the twin trunk Mathew but why are you letting other people touch your trees?? The creating part is what it's all about no?
IMO you will get MUCH more satisfaction by doing your own work than looking at someone else's.

Re: recently styled pines
I really just don't have the time at the moment to put into conifers. Working two jobs and a property to look after. Plus I don't mind a new set of eyes to give ideas . Yes the mugo after a repot and angle change will be one of my favourites . It originally came from Lindsey Farr and anyone who knows Lindsey knows what I mean by negotiation

Re: recently styled pines
I’ve got to turn this forum off tonight .. too many interesting trees making me want for more. Excellent Matthew.
The twin trunk is a gem.
The leaning pine with the Shari down low is a beauty too.
Bonsai teaches me patience.
