Mo - Most of the trunk is visible, the need for some tapering of the trunk is very obvious now that I am looking at the photo. It also had very little root spread with the roots all bunched to one side, I fanned them out as much as possible when I repotted so hopefully will start to grow more roots now.

Looking forward to seeing how this develops mate, good luck.
There are many ways to do things, but only one "best" way.

Hi Ray,

I am coming along to the meeting this Saturday, what do I need to bring? I have a black pine that I would really like some advice on as I think it is on the verge of being a really nice tree but are not sure how to do it, what else should I bring with me?

Thanks

Hi Shinkitai

If you think you want to work on the tree, bring along your tools and any wire or other bits you will require. If your only looking for guidance, then the tree is all you will need. I'll have my name badge on(Ray) so please come and introduce yourself.

See you tomorrow!
