Will you nuts help me?

[No it's not...]

Well, I guess the previous tree is a no-brainer...

Next. Pinus sylvestris, collected this spring. 60 cm high maybe, about 50-60 years old. Good bark. Decent movement (I think) from the bottom and all the way up. Already in a pretty small pot wich is a huge plus in my book.

No, it's not...,

I think the previous 2 spruces are not without hope, I would plant them in the ground for a while and look back at them in a few years(maybe 5 or 6 minumum). If they do not improve, at least they can be enjoyed in the garden. They are not terrible, and might improve with some more growth and time.

This new pine appears to be a good piece. It is unfortunate that there are not a few lower branches to work with. However, I think there is enough to work with. Keep it without hesitation.

Regards,
Martin

Emil,
As a collected pine I think that this one is also a keeper...
Some rules would not apply to it because it is a Yamadori and should be viewed as such.

This tree has good potential Emil. Looking forward to seeing it after you have worked on it.
