Did some collecting today and came upon this.
Noticed a lot of porcupine activity in the area. This was a nice Grand Fir. Evidently a bonsai artist resides in the woods. A little enthusiastic with the pruning. Not crazy about the Shari at the base either. But a real nice job jinning the top I thought. The tree with Jin is about 4' tall. I decided not to collect it. Too much injury on top of injury. I think the tree will survive. Grand Firs are very strong at back budding. I plan on visiting it next year to see if it survived and how the porcupine's style job is progressing.
