Thanks for the reply. I bought a very abused japanese white pine from a poorly run franchise nursery last year at a great price. If the tree survives the winter and a second repotting which it very well may not I am not sure how well the flawed branch location will be corrected. It has a very impressive nebari but may have to either have branches grafted on or an advanced styling. I still wonder after letting it recover for several years if it is worth the time. It may just have to be a learning experience.
