Any time I see a J and a P I assume it's JBP.

Nice!

Any time I see JRP from seed you have my attention :)

I wish I saw more JRP in the US. They are (at least from my experience) uncommon compared to JBP.
Ditto! JRP are beautiful pines, and it’s nice to see some growing. @mwar15 youre getting great movement in a couple of those trunks. That’s impressive, as brittle as they can be. If you don’t add movement early, its really difficult to add it later. Reminds me to check on my sole survivor of 50 JRP seeds...

Ya, I started wiring them when they were young.

This is the last one I have left that is exposed roots. The roots aren’t as strong. So I twisted them and wired it down. Wired a few branches and we will see what happens.
I trim some of the dead roots, weed and rake a little bit of the soil out. I wired nailed a few of the roots too keep them in the soil where I wants them

I thought I posted these. The first 2 repotted last year and the third this year. The last photo isn’t the forever placement. This is the second repot, it was in the pot about 4 years.
