Just another Radiata

This Radiata was collected in the early 90s by John & Shirley White and was given to me when they left Canberra in the late 90s.
The mature bark suggests it was an old specimen when it was dug.
As you can see it is still progressing to the shape I have working toward for the last 10 years.

An excellent specimen Peter it'll be awesome in a few years.
Great to see it in Canberra and great to see more use of Radiata.
Do your Radiata pines have any particular care requirements or do you just treat them much the same as JBP?
Cheers
Scott.
