I just wired it out. (The time to wire JWP is now. The old needles fall off easily).
Sorry, I didn't take a before pic, it looked all bushy. Here's a bit of history: I've had this tree a couple years. Peter Tea had styled it, Plant City bought it in California and had it shipped to Georgia. I bought it from Pkant City. When it arrived, I noticed that the apex was broken, it had a good bit of Peter's cut paste on it. It may have sustained more damage in shipping. At any rate, the apex died. These things are extremely slow to grow. It will be a decade before there will be a normal apex.
So, I've decided to make the dead apex a "feature" as if some natural disaster had damaged it, rather than cut it off.
So: here is the tree with the old front:
I've never really liked that planting angle. I need to do a half bare root repot on it next spring, so that would be a perfect opportunity to change the potting angle.
So, here's Choice A:
Here's Choice B:
Please vote!
If I go with B some tweeking of the pads is required. Not a problem.
Or, you can choose "Original" if you prefer!
