Seed
Hello everyone! I am very new to bonsai but have been a voracious consumer of as much bonsai knowledge as possible. The best advice I am trying to follow is "Go get your hands dirty!". So that is what I have been doing. I bought a Japanese Black Pine nursery tree which had been left to grow wild. I took a stab at pruning, shaping and wiring and was looking for feedback on the form or direction you think this tree is capable of going. I know my wiring is horrendous (it was the first time i have ever wired a tree) so please be gentle. My sense is that some of the branches are kind of leggy but they are growing on me (no pun intended) and am wondering what more seasoned eyes see in this tree. I think I found the best front but am also curious what others think.
Thank you all in advance for your input! And this forum is awesome. I am very glad I found this place!
This is what the tree looked like when I got it:
