    My pride and joy

    Thank you. Yeahh I think Ishii's grafts are on san jose's and prostrata's that sounds right once I hear it.

    JBP starter

    You have a very interesting black pine with a lot of character. Wiring techniques and branch styling with come with experience. I would suggest a cheap juniper shub or mugo pine from nursery stock to practice wiring on. I paid around 3-5 dollars for each and they've helped me practice without...
