Topless pine

This Pinus Sylvestris was made from extremely poor material at the Walter Pall workshop last year. I basically cut of the top and used the three lowest branches. The top was jined. Hight of the tree is about 40-15 cm.

The tree was planted in a plastic box from Ikea. Not very pretty. The branch in the middle had died during winter, but it didn't do much for the design anyway.

Here the tree is re-poted in a pot from Jan Olav. I had to use a bigger pot than I wanted due to some large roots. When removing the old soil I discovered some nice nebari, but you can't really see it in the pictures. This is a slightly different front. The pot is not oval, its i round.
The top jin needs some fixing up to look more interesting. Next year I will make a shari going all the way down.

Detail of the bark and jin. The bark is remarkable om this trees. Thick and flaky.
