Demo tree 1 year later.

Post by Gerard »

I assisted Hiro with a demonstration in June 2010,
Today, just over a year later this Scotts pine, Pinus sylvestris watereri was given its first pot.

I have drifted away from the original plan a little because I felt that this was a better potting angle.
After it has gained some strength I plan to remove the lowest branch and the tip of the apex.
