Looking good Noah, you should be able to get some nice pieces off that old apple.
Are your pines getting enough sun ? it looks like you have got them really sheltered

Craig that display bench is getting at least 9 hours of sun atm. I think the shadow is cast from the front beam 150mm wide and moves as the sun does. Other pines i have out on the open benches have about the same candle elongation. When one of my large liquid ambers fully leaf out i will lose back to about 6 hours which still should be fine.

the trees are enjoying it alot more to say the budding when breaking dormacy wad incrediable. Nothing like i was getting in rocky some of the tridents and japanese maples had 30cm of growth while i was in rocky next time im up will spend more time.I should start having some stock time you guys ever get down
