As suggested, I have created a new thread with some photos for the group’s review and ideas.
This little tree has just been de-candled and de-needled. (Summer here in Aus) and has a plethora of buds which will need thinning, but which ones is difficult to know.
Some questions:
1. How to manage the reverse taper above graft - e.g. burying up to graft and losing nebari vs gluing cork to root stock.
2. Styling ideas - e.g. Remove leader and allow buds to develop with future selection of branches into informal upright? Increase angle more horizontally to emphasise slanting style? Something completely different?
For past 10 years it has been ignored, and was repotted about 5years ago.
3. Suggestions as to the type of pine would also be appreciated.
