Shohin pine progression from ordinary garden centre stock, £11.99. Earliest pic I have is it transitioned to a pond basket after getting rid of the organic soil. Total time: 8 seasons (2 to transition and recover, 5 growing out the sacrifice, this season to remove the top sacrifice and start ramification on the branches and top). Planted in a lovely Tony Remington round 12cm wide by 8cm deep.

The focus now is going to be building the apex, removing the old, longer needles and continue to shrink the needles now the roots are constrained.

Love the tree! I am confused about it being a shohin. Is it smaller than it looks?
