Probably like everyone else, I've been busy repotting. Still quite a few trees to go, but I thought I'd start posting some pictures. This is a tree that I got from Brent at Evergreen last fall, and I did the initial styling last November at a pine workshop held by one of our club members. Then it was repotted a couple of weeks ago at my new study group. The front half of the roots were cleaned out, and it was potted in 1/3 each akadama/pumice/lava. The back half will be cleaned out next repotting. The pot was mostly selected based on size, but seems a good match for the tree at this point.
According to Brent, this is a cutting grown, cork bark cultivar, and it ten years old (I guess eleven, now). The first shot is the tree as offered by Brent. I do not have any pictures after the inital styling or during the repotting session (need my own photographer!).
In the future, I plan to develop the left hand branch into a near semi-cascade, and the crown should be compact, and not any higher than the current top.
