Probably...I was rotating it a bit on my iPad and wasnt 100% sure it was better, but in the image anyway, it softens the transition from the first to the second trunk sections.

Still lots of shoots to open. My estimate of two weeks was based on the weather as it was three weeks ago. Right after that picture we got spring again, rain and temps back in the 60's. I'm not complainin though....

Looks great! My only distraction, and maybe it's just me, is I see to much trunk line in the top 1/3 of the tree. I know we all like a good peak but I feel it's to much here.

Better now. Did not grow one bud for 1 1/2 years. Half of 2017 and all of 2018. This spring it finally budded and the needles color changed back to green. For two years it had a milky green color. I candle pruned about ten shoot in the apex and left the rest of the tree for this year. This Fall I will set the tree up for 2020 and repot it at the correct angle. I hate this angle. I have no idea how I did this.
Today
This is the angle I like. Have no idea how I gt it this screwed up. Viva la next year!

It’s looking good. I also like your decision to remove that lowest branch. It makes the tree look older, allows you to see the base better, and gives the tree a more rugged look. Trees in the mountains often have lost their lower branches as they are shaded out by the upper ones and by their neighbors.
I’m glad to see it doing well and recovered from its sulking.

Al, this is your 'Retirement Pine'. I know this tree from your blog. Nice to see an update. I remember you lowering a branche with a clamp, a couple of years ago. Tried this also successfully on one of my pines.

Nice to see the tree is getting back its vigour! It really does have the look of an old dominant pine, those jins look great!
