Pine tree in training :)

My little pine was ready for its first wiring and begin its life as a Bonsai in training.

Here is a picture :)

My little Pine is growing up so fast. One day they are so small, cute and fragile. Then the next day they are grown up and ready to be trained into Bonsai and start a new life for themselves. :lol:

Let me know what you think, I am pretty sure I can handle your constructive criticism. hehe

Yet again I must say nice tree Jason but I have a few questions if thats ok?

How old is this tree?

How long have you been pruning?

This tree I found growing a little over a year ago in a friends garden bed when I was helping her do some weeding.

The soil is just my friends garden bed soil right now, I might re-pot it next year in a nice Bonsai mix.

This is the first time I did anything to the tree since I put it in the starter pot about a year ago. Except water it of course :)

Maybe 2 or 3 years old I am not sure. It was about 6 or 7 inches tall before wiring. Now it is about 4 or 5 inches tall after wiring. It is in a 2 and 1/2 to 3 inch round starter pot that is about 3 inches deep. I checked the roots and it is not pot bound yet.
