Japanese Black Pine "Bush"

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.

"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!
