Bodhi,
Noice tree! Are you going to bring up the 'top' part of the tree (looking at DSCF5175 ~3rd pic)?


Cheers

Hi Jarad, no, the wire only appears to be cutting in but it is not. Photo's can be deceiving.

Honestly Elmar, i have no idea at this stage. My idea changes every time i look at it.

Looks great mate, the silicone tube around the wire is a good idea.

I like it. Wouldn't know how to go about going what your doing, but it looks very interesting!
My question was I relation to the string bend in the trunk then coming out into a straight bit - I thought it would look better if that came back up... Just a thought...

Spent a couple of cruisy days wiring this out at my leisure. I removed a large branch and jinned it and took off a couple of smaller ones. Not sure of a viewing angle yet but i now have made a decision on the leader and i wont get an idea of angle out of the pot until it goes into a new, smaller home. I would love a square chunky Tokaname for it and i will be on the look out for one. Its growing on me and i think i have its direction now.

Big transformation since you first posted this tree back in 2010!

Looking forward to seeing it when you get it planted at the new angle in the new Tokaname.

Regards,
Steven

Keep it going Bodhi.

Enjoying the journey we're taking!

I just noticed this thread. I like what I see so far!
Well done.

Thanks Steven, bloody hard to find a clean square semi cascade pot though.

Loving learning from this tree and i will call it that this tree wont look anything like this once i finish it, if it is ever finished.

Onya Treeman, i have to have at least one decent black pine before i am to old to carry them anymore. I should be a lot further along with this guy regards its age but i have always been a little shy of Black pines. I think a lot of people are though.

So i have reached this point. Unable to obtain a pot (square tokoname semi cascade) i have repotted into one of my own that had another pine in it. Now i am chasing a front and i will then start the refinement process. The whole lot will have to be rewired as the angle is now again different and is a bit messy, but that is another day.

Front 2 for me. Shows off the interesting roots and trunk line better. I may change my mind if I saw in 3D though?

If you are still after one of these, shoot me a PM with a description, or better still a pic of what you want, and I will put my feelers out.

I'm with Jase, front two for me as well.
By the way I love it in the pot it's in now Bodhi.
Beautiful tree mate.

I like something closer to pic 1, gives the impression of a wider base and when the tree fills out some of the trunk/ base will still be visible.

The tree has bounced back well and i have a new pot for it. The planting angle will change and the tree will be rewired. I have lots of backbudding Keep you posted.
