Which Front? ...and other styling advice JBP.

[99 Mile Creek]

It was discounted, I believe, because of the lower branches breaking somehow...which probably changes the direction this was going.

Between attempting to envision how this might be styled for the future (maybe tilting it to level out foliage?) and its front, and deciding if repotting is best in the summer, fall, or spring, I'm also looking into which color pot to use.

I really like this maroon glazed pot. I could play it safe and go for an unglazed pot....but why do we tend to see unglazed for pines? Is this some show rule, or more of a traditional guideline? I feel the red complements the bark on this one.

1038 seems to have best movement. Id be probably looking tonuse that as front.

Hey, I was liking that, too. I thought it was sacrificing a bit of girth, but for added eloquence.

Agree on 1038 as well. Nice movement

Any chance we can get another set of pictures with the trunk at eye level? All the pictures you’ve given us, except for the last one, are taken from above .

Sure thing. I'm terrible at remembering that.

With mekiri (candle removing and new small candles), you can reduce the size of the needles, hopefully

I'm not sure when this was decandeled. But a few (2-4) were either left intentionally left to grow or overlooked. Though last year's needles are definitely long.

Very helpful visual. Thank you!
