i think your restyle is much better than the original, those bar branches would of caused a prob, this one needs a lot of time to develop and hicken mate ;)

brown brothers is 15 minutes from my house and they have converted me into a wine drinker ( sweet wines). your pine may never get large but your restyle is a big improvement . let it grow to get the bark flaking which will come with age and growth. Dont be worried about needle size etc for a long time.

Haha nice one Noah!! I don't mind a bit of wine! Reds mainly!
Yeah, this one needs alot more time, which is fine. It's not going into a pot anytime soon. It's thickened a bit since getting it, and I'm in no hurry with it :)
I agree the current restyle is much better than the original. The foliage/branches are at different levels now.
ANd not too worries about needle size yet :) It's just growing on :)

The pine in the background was alittle radiata that is no longer with us :P
