Shohin Japanese Black pine in development

Well here is the tree i have been growing in the ground for a few years. I will take more photos at a later date (i was a bit tired after digging out the side of a bank for the new water tank thats coming. No dirt really to move, just boulders, 50 -80 kg each 
)
Really bad photo sorry.
This will be updated shortly when i know its growing strong. It should be thicker after the time it was in the ground however, and this is a tip for young players, prepare the soil really well before planting. You wont get the growth you expect if you dont. Also plant it in a spot that you can easily get to with a hose or you get lazy and the tree doesn't get enough water. It does however have very nice bark forming which is a bonus. There is also more taper then appears in this image.
Cheers,
Jarrod
