Zelkova:

Forgot: Scots Pine, my next victim. PS. Does anyone know how to rotate the photo, when a picture is shot in portrate mode this site insists on posting in landscape?

Yes this is a nice thread. Nice trees

I rotate pictures on my computer before uploading to the site. I've never had an issue with them being rotated here again. :confused:

This thread has me itching to hit the local garden center for some raw material to play with.
Amazing work all.

Scots pine on the cover of ABS journal

Sorry I dont have a means to post the picture, but has anyone else seen the scots pine on the cover of the latest ABS Journal?

I couldn't stop staring at the picture when I got the journal a couple of days ago.
It is a beautiful tree.

Apparently the University of Michigan has started a bonsai garden and that is one of the trees there.

This is a fantastic thread. Kept me reading long past bedtime, so I had to say thanks to all for sharing. Sadly, none of my trees are anywhere near finished, but I am pretty excited about this dwarf myrtle. Growing very strongly, and I think in a few years it will be quite stunning.

That scots pine has very nice bark, branch placement and foliage, but the arial root creates the lack of a solid base and is very distracting. It could be fixed over time...and at the very least should be concealed.

Agree Brian, a very nice Scots pine, but that root was very distracting to me too.

Yes I agree that the roots are a bit odd and unbalancing to the tree as a whole.

How would you go about fixing such a problem?
