I bought this Pinus Sylvestris this spring and it's my very first pine.
Previous owner collected it himself some 25-28 years ago and has styled it himself at some point in the past.
There is a wire cutter in one of the pictures to give sense of its size.
Since the roots and substrate are reportedly in good condition, I decided to style the tree before attending to the messy roots.
Big parts of the foilage was hanging downwards and had become weakened, so it was important to get this sorted sooner rather than later.
I took the tree to a workshop hosted by Jan Culek of the Czech Republic last month and we decided on the design as shown.
I'm such a newbie, especially when it comes to design and wirering, so thankfully Jan helped me out a LOT.
The pine will hopefully restore strength in the weaker areas during next season, and if it does, I'm hoping to start root work in 2021.
I gotta say I had a lot of fun working on this tree!
Learned a ton too from all the practical help I got and from the knowledge Jan passed on.
Good times indeed
