Adair, it looks great!
Is this your big pine from telperion farms?

I remember your first posts in another forum. I think development was quick!

 

[Dav4]

Looks good Adair. Is there a reason that you waited until now to thin the needles? Just wondering...

Laziness. As long as it's done before the spring growth begins, it's ok!

Yes, same tree.

I wouldn't have used the word "laziness", Adair. I would have said I was "otherwise occupied by more pressing affairs"....

Great pine, Adair. It's looking really good.

Sweet pine !

Hey @Adair M how is this one gearing up for the season?

It got repotted.



In the process, I turned it slightly counter clockwise, and tipped it back a bit as it was moving too much forward. Mind you, it still moves forward, just not as much now as before.

Jeez, that looks good... the movement and taper in that trunk is fantastic! Is this the one where the primary branch is pulled around from the back?

Sssshhhhh... Don’t tell!!! You’ll spoil my reputation as being one who only can follow the rules!

No worries, your secret is safe with me! Give me the word and I'll take it off your hands to remove this blemish from your yard!

The thing is, with the way trees fall in your garden, it would become a mashed tater!

Amazing tree! This one has that killer taper, and great movement.

You think it's too tall now? It seemed more powerful when it was more squatty. Now it seems tall in proportion. The trunk just does not convey the sense of power it had shorter.

Adair must be a Tater hater.
