This is a tree I've had for a couple years now... I took it to our convention last fall and Kathy Shaner and I worked on it together. I put it in a Dale Cochoy pot today and I'm deeply delighted with how it's coming along. It was a rangy looking thing when I first got it, but with good pruning I got really vigorous back budding which let me get it into this image. A few more years and it'll be a right smart looking tree.
Enjoy....

SERIOUS BONSAI INDEED !!
Excellent Victrinia. I especially like the first image. This looks like a big guy. Dale Cochoy's (Wild Things Bonsai Studio, Hartville, Ohio) pottery is really powerful, superbly bringing out the beast and soul of your tree. A home run - so glad you shared with us here.
Further refinement over the years will only "sweeten the deal".

Stone Lantern has a pretty good book that is worth considering. Actually it is a collection of articles from past issues of Bonsai Today.gbhunter77 wrote:Nice tree. Any books you can recomend on black pine before I destroy mine?

BTW, in this book Black Pine is Japanese Black Pine, not Austrian as this thread is about.
