Japanese Black Pine Workshop
At the BSF 2004 convention, Rob Kempinski lead a black pine workshop. My lack of knoledge in the black pine area convinced me to join the workshop. Since I see Rob several times a month, he can help me with any further work on the tree.
Here is the before photo-

I used this as a guide to style the tree. The only problem was that the drawing was a hopeful future. It will require several approach grafts during the next few years.
Here is the finished tree. I will explain the future of it in the next post.

The red circle is the bud which will become the new apex. Ahh, that will take years
. Luckily, I have the time to wait. The green elipse encopases a sacrifice branch which was kept to sap flowing to the bud where the future apex will be. The yellow circle shows a branch that was not picked up by the photo. This branch I plan to approach graft to the branch that is circled in blue because this branch has become too leggy and Rob doubts that I will be able to get a back bud. The jin was not in Rob's future drawing, but he agreed with me that it would prevent further reverse taper if I turned it into a jin. By the way, that was Dale Cochoy's idea. The reverse taper that is in that area right now will later be turned into a mid-trunk shari. Rob will help me with that at one of the study group meetings.

By the way, the spread at the base of this tree is 9". The overall height is somewhere around 30".
