White pine direction

Post by eliass »

Would anyone be able to comment on the direction of this tree perhaps a virtual... I can't see my vision for it is set.. I have been focusing on back budding which I have only been able to achieve on the bottom right branch Image

Hi Eliass, this is what popped into my mind when seeing your tree... sorry I suck on computers so the virt is very ordinary...

Yeah, like what he said. It depends on how the roots move. It might be nice (if you tip it over sideways to the left) to take the apexes that rise from the flat line, rather than just the straight trunk (top right branches in the upright position). Can't do virts, you'll just have to work it out.
