Scooped this monster JPB for a absolute steal today. This girl is massive with some seriously aged bark. She’s been pretty neglected so I have lots of work to do. I will get her cleaned out and basic structure set then bring her to class with Jonas( along with my other jpb) to repot in February. Let me know what you think

Got a little bit cleaned up. Guy wired down a branch that was sticking straight up a little over half way up the tree. Just for reference nebari spread is 14” and trunk is almost 7”.

Trying to really do this girl justice. Not easy to wire and be careful with the bark.

That wire is too thin to do anything, and your wraps are too tight. Too much like a spring. Heavier wire, and it should run along the branch more. 60 degree angle.
Thank you. It’s 6 gauge, the largest I have on hand, and I suck at the larger gauge. Was more concerned with trying not to knock bark off fucked yo pretty miserably. I see Peter Tea is selling wire now and he’s local so maybe I’ll see if I can get some 4 next weekend.

4 would be nearly impossible to wire that “tight”.

Thank you I appreciate the help. Wiring pines is new to me and it is far from easy haha. Definitely something that requires repetition. I have no problem cutting it off and trying again. Thanks for taking the time

i really don't understand why someone cut the sacrifice branches so near to the trunk :/ letting a jin would be much more "natural" and the scar cal would developp around the jin in a natural way too..

the bark of your tree is very nice

I did not perform the chop so I cannot speak of it. I do know jobs are not really accepted on JPB. Was just reading one of @markyscott (I believe) threads where people were discussing deadwood on JPB

You look to be on the right path. Jin’s are typically not used on JBP. I have a couple of JBP with fairly large scars, but they’re healing over. It will take years, but they’re covering.

You will be amazed at the progress you tree will make in a couple years of dedicated work!

Impressive size of the trunk for relation to height. Where'd you get it in Sacramento?
