I like this start. I have a bosnian pine I'm going to style this fall and it may take a similar form.Repotted my 'Mitsch's Weeping' Scots pine into something a good chunk smaller, jury is still out on if I eliminate that lowest branch in the long run as I see it becoming something within the realm of bunjin. I removed some structural wire as well, they bite in surprisingly fast for a conifer. A slow process, but overall its very satisfying to work nursery stock into something more dynamic.

So sorry to hear Sandy, he was a beautiful dog. As hard as it is to lose them, sometimes we have to pick what's best for them vs. keeping them with us.Sorry, I know this is a downer....
We put down our 13 year old chocolate lab "Kona" down today.
He has been with us for 12 years, he was a good boy.
His declining health and body finally caught up with him and we had to say good bye.
We will miss him terribly. As with all my dogs, I know there will never be another one quite like him.
I hope he is in dog heaven playing with his "brothers" that left before him.
Kona when he was much younger and healthier

Thank you.So sorry to hear Sandy, he was a beautiful dog. As hard as it is to lose them, sometimes we have to pick what's best for them vs. keeping them with us.
I am going to bait my trap this coming week. When I catch them, they will be released out in the country.Dem wasscally wabbits!
They are looking very nice!Repotted my new stock from @cmeg1 . I’m sure I didn’t do it quite right; maybe a bit deep, but given enough time maybe they’ll turn out all right.
I was going to let them establish in these orchid pots over the next couple years, maybe with some light chops to simulate movement and to stimulate back budding. Then I’ll drop these pots into larger terracotta pots to grow out.View attachment 541397
