I couldn?t resist this JBP from EBay and had to order it today as I love those raised exposed neagari roots on literati pines
So here is the pic and the plan.
Can?t wait to get it in my hands and style it
Downside is the young looking trunk, but if it won?t sell after I style it, I get nice and aged one in some 20 years :dry:
I paid 125 euros for it. It is 45cm in height.

It is a nice tree.

Is that how long it takes? 25 years for scaly bark?

I am surprised at the pricepoint. Good to know: i am growing some out and was going to thin them out. Once I do, I will put them in pots instead of composting themm.

I have no idea man, it was just a wild guess

But - why were you going to compost the ones you grew? If you give them good starting shape, well worth to do something with them.
I am planting some 18 small itoigawas in a month?s time and hopefully I get nice material for sale in some 2 - 3 years

The price for this pine might be a bit high, but I haven?t seen any similair one with such a nice neagari anywhere, so that is what made me to go for it
Also the rootball must be great in such a small pot.
SO I think this is gonna be nice tree in a few years

It will be an elegant dancer in a few years. And then.. In another decade a scraggy elegant dancer

I have a field in which I dump seeds and seedlings. And when it gets too dense, I spend a day diggin, pruning and tossing, replanting a bed. So the olders beds have maybe 10 trees left. The youngest just received hundreds of zelkova, larix and trident maple seeds And I have a bunch of pines which were too dense, which I trimmed back. But at some point a few need to go.

Allright, so when you have something nice to sell, let us know

Nothing yet. But these are the oldest trees on there. Still building muscle.


I have some trees for sale in the sales area I think though?

Leatherback - not bad mate, not bad

I did the styling right after I got this tree so here is the result.
Although I am tempted to do as my last pic - virtual But it need a bit more time to cut back. I already did cut quite a lot. Or maybe I go the initial direction. I do not know now

You plucked a lot of needels off that tree. Hope it has a lot of vigor to recover from that.

I removed all old needles and cut few branches.
But you are right, it seems I removed more than 50 percent that is not advised.
I examined the tree beforehand and it looked pretty healthy and for quite a long time in that pot too, so I went as far as I did.
I think it is gonna be ok.
It was bought as a prebonsai material ready to be styled

i have to personally agree. the last pic(virtual) really caught my eye. i do like that one the most. but regardless the tree will look good either way.
