The bark and Fall foliage are superbly red which is very unusual for pines.
What yall think? Should I give it a try?

Are you saying that tree does that every year?

Just chop it to 2 ft from the ground. It will back bud just fine. You can do Niwaki on the tree afterward.
Oh! You may want to do a couple dozen hardwood cuttings too. It's not easy to find a pine with autumn color.

So beautiful when pines change colour in autumn, my favorite part of the year

Just imagine if you defoliate it in the spring - the ramification would be amazing!

I have seen a lot of these genetic anomalies. They are frequently found under power lines in very rural areas. Also occasionally found near large plantings of GMO corn.

Unironically a japanese bonsai master developed a defoliation technique for JBP removing all the needles just before the buds open, I dont remenber the name of the guy I have somewhere a pdf of a bonsai magazine where he explain it, https://peterteabonsai.wordpress.com/tag/defoliating-black-pines/

We've had lots of these rare pines pop up this year. What's really interesting is seeing a clump/grove/planting of several (i.e. same conditions), while only one will exhibit this behavior.
