Japanese Black Pine - Cascade Style
This pine was shown some months back. I have decided that the time was ripe for a first restyling. First for me anyway. I am sure that this tree has had some work done to it, since the root ball can be seen at an angle in the soil, (tell tale sign) for turned over the edge cascades. This is not the ideal way a cascade should be presented. I feel that for a great cascade there should be some element of natural forces that turned the tree over the edge of a cliff.
This tree does do it gently and looks rather believable to be a wind driven cascade. So I will give it some face lifting.
The tree before the work.
