Whoa Matt,

Your wit is like a razor today, slice, nice!

Bisco bisco Duck,

I'll give this a stab of my own. Some things I know.

1. Slow growing here. One basic flush of growth a year. So If you want something convincing start with bigger tree.

2. Easy to bend easy to wire branches into place. Tends to want to drift back after wiring, might need second wiring.

3. Not a big water hound, medium fertilizer, full sun

4. Doesn't give advantitious buds down low easily. Choose a tree with low branching.

5. New growth can be pinched back with fingers after hardening off. Not always going to get ramifaction at each pinch site. Needles reduce with time, can go several years between repots and needle reduce when root restricted.

6. Long term tree, worth the effort. Go for it Bisco
