One thing I have learned on my white pine, if you have a plan of bending the trunk or branches a lot, do it as fast as possible. The longer you wait, the more everything thickens and the more difficult it gets.

The root work this year may have been one step forward and two steps back, but I think it’ll still work in the long run:
The planting angle is a bit too vertical, but that’s to prepare it for the next wrenching downward I’ll get to when possible.
Overall, the root work to introduce nice coarse soil and to reduce the bulk will set this tree up for success. The foliage is looking a bit like a wonderful shore pine, now that I have it heavily bifurcated.

Looking very healthy, appreciate the patience to set the foundation in the beginning! Good Plan.
