Nice little tree and, honestly, the best Austrian pine I've seen from the states. Any idea how old/how long in training for this tree?

Jason,
You did a very nice job with this tree. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Paul
This a great tree. I'm not sure if it is the photo...but do I detect reverse taper?
It looks like a MAJOR trunk chop that resulted in a large scar...but it doesn't look bad at all! I really like this tree too--but the needles look a little yellower on the 09 photo. I'm sure it's nothing, but just making sure...

Nicer wiring in job. !
....a nice tree needed some very ugly wire to balance it out....
The difference is that Walter Pall's trees are collected and what we are looking at are seedlings or nursery material. The collected trees are usually 100+ years old versus a couple year old seedling from a nursery or actually growing from seeds like I am trying. ...
Hey there could you update on the pines from seeds? Maybe some pics? Thank you, MikeThe difference is that Walter Pall's trees are collected and what we are looking at are seedlings or nursery material. The collected trees are usually 100+ years old versus a couple year old seedling from a nursery or actually growing from seeds like I am trying. I see what I am attempting is a 15 to 20 year project. I started growing from seeds 2 months ago and have about 60 Austrian Pines and 70 Scotch Pines at the moment. I have been culling the weak ones and I am sure I will lose some along the journey. I am basically growing from seed using the "Pine from Seed" article in the Stone Lantern Pines book.
I have heard that they react like Japanese Black Pines but you need to be a little more careful in pruning, etc. I too will be following any threads about them and will provide updates on how my little "experiment" is going.
