This is a tree which I am considering for the workshop.
A pinus radiata which I dug up a year ago. The trunk is very straight so I planted it at an angle in the hope of making it more interesting. Lots of branches to choose from and a trunk which is still thin enough to bend.
Then there is another approach which is to make a formal upright, a style we do not often see done well but perhaps this is a good candidate with its large number of branches.
I trust Don will help make a good decision.
