Telperion black pine

[markyscott]

I've heard that beer helps dissolve pine sap...

Burp - what?

I was just re-reading Eric's blog post which has this pic from Telperion Farms. The internode lengths on those sacrifice branches are amazing. Is that 1 - 2ft of growth that represent each growing season? Do you see your guy's trees?

Yep! That's how it's done! Mine came from that patch, but I believe it had already been harvested a couple years when that picture was taken.

A lot of wood to build a little tree, isn't it. Great pic - thanks for sharing it. Not sure if my tree's in that picture.

A bit more progress. Here's the tree at the end of the growing season.

And after a little cut back and some rough work on the dead wood.

Jins need to be shortened, but I think I see a much shorter tree here. Need to think about that.

A little more work on the deadwood. I do mostly hand carving I prefer the look and find it hard to replicate with power tools. I reduced the jins (especially the top jin) and gave them some texture. I burned them with a torch and wire brushed the jin. Then lime sulfur - 50% strength.

Any update on this one?

Well. I paired down the collection. This one didn’t make the cut and I sold it.

Had to make room for the new juniper, huh?

Looking back at the trees at Telperion, I wonder how many Shiners tall they were?

The only ones I’ve ever seen are the ones they exported to Georgia. I looked in California, but didnt find any.

Bummer... I really wanted to see how you would achieve the projected images

 

[River's Edge]

This is fun. So here's another possibility without the deadwood. Which do you like better?

Like this one, i know your execution would create better branch angle than this drawing. besides it would give you the opportunity to practice extra grafting to heal the cuts. I do recognize that the first draft with deadwood is ingenious, just not sure if it could match the vision. (Catching the thread dates late again, have to remember to read the date of each post)

This is inspiring. I just recently bought a Scots pine from Telperion and it’s a similar size and shape.

Sigh - nothing to do this year except watch it grow and dream what the future might hold. There are a couple of trunks that he sawed off that might make good deadwood features. What do you think of this?

How is your JBP doing? Any updates?

Those over-reaching Telperion farm JBPs are canvas'es for many artworks to come....
