this is going to be the first of a hand full of JBP progression threads. This one is starting the get some nice bark. First order of business this coming spring will be to begin working on the rootball and getting some good soil mixed in. Soil now is rock solid not allowing water to penetrate well, thus causing some rotting of lower bark where it puddles, and we don't want that bark going to shit. Plan to let some runners go and fatten the trunk up a bit. We will see how this year's growth goes to start candles pruning . I'd like to start reducing needle size over the next few years. In its arrival state it was much too tall for the size of the trunk as to what I am invisioning.
Unwanted branches were removed, and minimal pruning was done to "open" her up a bit. Will jin removed branches. Wired some of the tree , but still greatly pondering design and position ideas.
An apex needs to.be establised but This one does have a pretty interesting nebari that is starting to bark over nicely.
Not decided exactly which direction to take it in yet.
