Yes,hi I have had this scots pine for a year (yes its a yami ynot lol) can you give me help on how to train it
Get it in in a [larger] training pot with proper soil [Far more gritty than the current-That looks almost like potting soil ]and back outside it goes to: let it grow let it grow let it grow. A good look at the nebari would help to determine the front.
Nope, Without seeing the nebari I have no idea where the front of this tree is. For Literati [Bunjin] Some more movement in the trunk would be essential as well as a tighter placement wrt foliage and branch development etc..tarian wrote: any tips on how to wire it ?
