Wow! great looking show thanks for sharing.

Haha, we were in Baton Rouge and New Orleans last week, already missing the warmth!

Not the best time to be messing with roots, probably could have left them until spring before separating. I typically give my seedlings at least one or two years before disturbing them.

Glad a local ended up with this tree, I contacted Will regarding purchasing it too, but apparently I was a bit late. Looking good, keep up the good work

Pinus, any variety, JPB, Scots, contorta, JRP, ponderosa hard to kill easy to tame

Don't do anything now, leave all foliage to hopefully drive some new root growth before it starts cooling down, and watch your watering carefully. Good luck!

Welcome! both good choices for starter trees. Ground growing can be a good option if you want a big trunk quickly but with a few caveats, need to get the roots sorted before placing in the ground and get some movement in the lower trunks as well. You do have to extract them every couple of years...

I'd wait and repot/wire in spring. Keep feeding now until it's consistently below 5C 10C

Looking forward to the ceramic goodness that is forthcoming from your new and improved space, congratulations!

That's great Vance and a well deserved acknowledgment of your skills

You are a crazy(in a good way) mad ceramic repair artist. Really appreciate the work you are doing

Nicely done David, you never cease to amaze me.

Very nice image Vance

Unfortunately no needles means no buds, looks like you'll be making literati pines

Best time of year whichever side of the planet you are on!
