Or the closest to yamadori so far.
Just around the corner from my place is an area they cleaned from trees to build. Unfortunately I was couple hours late and by the time i noticed some very good pines which thicker trunks than ones i got were already being chopped
I asked them to dig out 5_6 small remains trees in the perimeter they were cleaning and they nicely assisted
I left with 5 trees but when unloading from car a couple were clearly gunners because the soil just detached from them and the trunk was severely damaged.
So.im left with these 3, clearly nothing no one would ever consider looking at how small and how bad they are, yet I have not had experience with pine so far and the different growth and pruning needed looks daunting to me so want to train on these before venturing into quality pine.
I potted in peat to try to get easier root growth as weirdly even with delicate handling the soil.was too dry and by detaching it was taking away the roots . Each was left with minimal roots so I'm.hoping theyllmake it.
If they do I want to experiment with getting them.to back bu which is crazy difficult especially on the larger one as branches are very very long and has no buds except at the end. For this I believe I need to cut the top of each branch at the middle or level.less maybe leaving 3-4 needles? Do u think a branch that long has a chance to back bud at the base ?
If that works I will play with the branches and believe the large o e would make a nice windswept one and the smaller ones I can bend the trunk.as i wish and grow as it's still soft.
Again fully realized these are not worth the hassle but just want to experiment and learn with them.
