Japanese Black Pine "Bush"
Posted: May 25th, 2013, 10:17 pm
I have this pine forever. I bought it quite young. A few years later I fell it down to create a bush. This tree has never been grounded.
These photos were taken just now, 25/May/2013.

View 1 - 1 -- The original trunk is on the right.

View 1 - 2 -- The original top is in front.

View 1 - 3 -- The original trunk is on the left.

View 1 - 4 -- The original trunk is in front.

"The Joint"
The two are nearly severed. There are only a little bit of live bark underneath. I should have realise that roots would never grow out of this area and left the bark alone!
The "trunks" are all between 10 mm and 15 mm. There five ( 5 ) proper trunks in total. Three ( 3 ) trunks at the back. Two ( 2) at the front -- this includes the original top.
There have been only clip and grow works on this tree. No major wirings yet. I am not going to develop this tree any bigger. The pot is heavy now. And human bodies, when passed 30, do not get any stronger with times go by!
