Very nice black pine.
I agree the pot should be bigger when not being showed. A little more leg room for the roots should benefit the health of this tree.

Sweet lil tree Duane. Any friends on a mountain near the snow?
That loooong growing season could make for twice the candle pruning, and ramification, making this a really fine tree that much sooner.

visfsucym, yenling83, shohin & bill, thanks for your comments.
So I took the tree to our club meeting & 2 sensei's say the tree will be fine in this pot, BUT it is up to me whether I re-pot into a little bigger pot at the expense of maybe longer needles & thicker branches.

Any problems getting this onto the island? Or was it sold from HI?

Chris, i'll take the 5th on that
JasonG, thanks again. We're going to check the roots on this tree. The trunk is remains wet most of the day, this concerns me.

Duane! Sorry I overlooked this posting during my recent turmoil - glad I noticed it today!
What a marvelous tree! Certainly one of the nicest of this type that I have ever seen. You are really getting hold of some great stuff over there. This is one heck of a beauty!

Do you keep it in full sun? I wouldn't protect this guy from the sun or winter at all.....Water once a day in the summer. Let us know what you find.... Jason

Hey Will, thanks for the confirmation. Hope all is well.
JasonG, the roots looked good. I didn't take any pics because it was a very windy day & we had to be quick. The akadama had broken down some & was causing the pot to hold water. I had to scape the broken down akadama from the bottem of the pot. I re-potted the tree without doing any rootwork into a wider, deeper Chuck Iker pot. I will keep the tree in this pot until its ready to be shown.
I keep the tree in full sun & water once in the morning. I was concerned because even in Hawaii's hot sun, the trunk remained wet the next day. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it.
