Image is a bit small but the apex needs to come down a bit, the top looks to young for he base of the tree!

I agree with the above. I am definately NOT a fan of glazed pots on pines. . . . Why? Because thats how i have been taught.

Hey Jay you must have missed the heading of Chinese Elm ;) :lol:
I agree reduce top to a wide crown and refine the pads to be less like pads :|
It seems to have a great trunk and well positioned branches.
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Hmmmmm. I have a suspicion you could be right Brett :oops:

But perhaps i brought up a good point without knowing it? Too pine-like?

I thought that is what you were meaning in the first place.

Good point.
