out on a limb...

Whoops forgot to vote. I'm gonna say, "bad mediocre material".

Simply because you didn't give the "good mediocre category".

Some positives:
1. Old bark
2. Established two years from the mountain
3. coiled trunk with taper
4. Tons of jins

Some negatives:

1. Tons of Jins (going to be a lot of jins and/or scars)
2. Interior void of needles old or new
3. Weak overall growth


Having said that there are still lots of ideas that come to mind.
-Windswept with extensive wiring or
-"Kimura style" where he pulls down all long branches into multiple layers and pinches out most crotch and inside growth
-Driftwood style sharied literati
- cut back, fertilize, and wait

One nut's humble O.
