Well, since I was unable to snag that larch that G52 decided was too risky to ship, I went in an entirely different direction with another tree.
This is a wonderfully barked JWP (grafted of course). When I got it, I asked Rob (october) if he'd be kind enough to give me his thoughts and ideas on working this tree. I've admired the progress he has made on his JWP's, so was pleased when he agreed. I've been selecting branches and doing a large scale pruning and wiring of the entire tree. I probably discarded as much or more foliage as my smaller JWP has in its entirety! The tree was super healthy, but pretty overgrown, so there was plenty to choose from.
Keep in mind that there was a lot of thinning to do, so it will need to fill in.... But the movement is outstanding. It is so much better in person, it really doesn't read just from the 2D, but here it is.
Thanks again Rob!
