Is the pine from Muranaka's nursery in Nipomo? I was just there and bought one that looks similar. My plan is to to plant it in the ground and grow it out like he does. One central leader taking off with out branching and the lower branches kept tight in toward the trunk. Mine has a bar branch at the base which I will leave for about two years before cutting off. They are nice trees, but I had something larger in mind.
