Ponderosa progression

[jimib]

I got this ponderosa from Jim Doyle at a workshop in the spring. It put on some good growth through the summer and it was wired and got its initial stying n October. I’d like to find a pot for it, even though it probably won’t be it’s final pot. In the photos I have it standing more upright but the roots are actually up the trunk a few inches..where the line is. I think it would still look good laid horizontal a little if I change my front view a bit. Any comments of suggestions are appreciated ..thanks

I think it’s come along nicely..a little backbudding...new needles cane in a little shorter ..

I really like how you repositioned it in the pot. Did you wait for the new buds to grow out before repot?

Thanks....actually I didn’t notice buds until late summer..I repotted it in March.

That’s great! I’m planning on repotting mine as well later this month or early March. It’s been 2 years since collection, and it had new growth last year so I think it’s safe now.
