Decandling an oldschool cork bark gloomy pine – Indian Bonsai Art

I’ve been engaged on the cork bark gloomy pine under for approximately twenty years. It’s had it’s usaand downs nevertheless had stuffed in enough in contemporary years that it felt like a factual time to skinny the tree. The root is that by lowering the needles on the upper branches I’m able to encourage the lower branches catch more daylight and preserve vigor. (For information about what the tree looked like after I started engaged on it, leer “Increasing density on a cork bark pine.”)
