Hello, Peter!

Thank you both, yes I'm quite satisfied with them and looking forward to looking more insight the trees after old needles are gone.Love these pines.
I doubt you’ll be unable to unknit them. Especially the larger ones. They’ll most likely split and break.Wired the second one today, opened up, removed few branches and few yellow needle bundles. This way for now...

HBR repot is planned for next spring, I'll start from front half to un-knit that braid of roots.
Thank you Adair, that's what I expect. The smaller one doesn't seem to have that problem. First I have to inspect how it looks under the soil. And how much time is needed between two HBR repots talking about JWP?I doubt you’ll be unable to unknit them. Especially the larger ones. They’ll most likely split and break.
I’m not discouraging the HBR repot, just managing expectations. To fix it, keep the best radial roots, and completely remove the worst of the crossing roots. You might not be able to get them all. 3 or 4 years from now you can do that side again.
They come from Germany, this shop had planty to make a choice.May I ask where you got these from?
They appear to be grafted on JBP roots. After the first HBR repot, if it’s growing well, you can do the next one the following year. If you want, you can wait a year.Thank you Adair, that's what I expect. The smaller one doesn't seem to have that problem. First I have to inspect how it looks under the soil.

Thank you for your response. Now it's easy to remember it, same like JBPs. Tried both with JBPs and they both are well. One HBR repotted twice in two years was just a little bit slower in responding, but at the end of season their summer needles and buds look developed equally.They appear to be grafted on JBP roots.
