Hey
Tom,
Very nice Va Pine specimen!!! I seem to enjoy all of the options!! ? Did the pine actually come from Virginia? If so, I am interested in the process/care of the VA Pine. There is that variety in Virginia that I am interested in collecting, but until this thread I have never heard of anyone training one for bonsai.
Thanks in advance,
Robt

Re: Virginia pine...another display option.
Good day, Robt....actually the pine was not collected in Virginia, but rather in northern West Virginia....regarding its care I have been following a regimen suggested by Vance Wood several years ago which he follows for mugho pine (you can find a reference on the web)....it differs somewhat from the traditional two-needle pine care.
This pix. shows the display option that I have decided upon....the stand was crafted from old redwood growth by Dave Lowman.
Best regards,
Tom

This stand option is the best you have posted; I like it.
You have done well with this Pine, it only gets better every time I see it.

Va. Pine
Thanks for the reply, Tom, the Va. Pine flourishes here in Va., also the table mountain Pine, which is west of us. Wonder if yours could be a table mountain Pine? Possibly? To me it is hard to tell the difference, except for the cones. I am excited in collecting one or the other this spring. Thanks, Robt.

Re: Virginia pine...another display option.
Although I think all of the feedback is valid, I like the first picture of the pot on the stone. I don't think it overwhelms the eye. I looked at other posts and then came back, several times, and the green of the pine definitely pulls my eye before the stone. For me the 'perfect' display would be the first, with the stone and pot the same color. I like that you are going out of the box!.

Re: Virginia pine...another display option.
I decided to post the tree again after another four years have passed. This is how it currently looks. I do like the redwood burl that it sits on. And btw, Vance....thanks for your last reply in this post I appreciate the kind words...sorry it came four years later! Hope all is well with you and your family. Tom

Re: Virginia pine...another display option.
Sorry, but I do not think that rock does anything to enhance the tree. The straight horizontal trunk is very distracting. I would suggest removing the upper part as was suggested earlier or hide it by lowering the crown to cover it.

I should have read everything before posting earlier. That is an outstanding solution to the problems I saw.Tom Simonyi wrote:I decided to post the tree again after another four years have passed.

Nicely done
You successfully solved the problem of the 'too straight' trunk, it looks like by simply rotating the tree. Nicely done.

Virginia Pine Display Options
I don't normally like crescent pots very much - but this tree / pot / display combination is very nice - it looks very natural - very well done, you have a very nice bonsai there.

Very nice!
This pot is better than previous one.
Perhaps, a little more negative space between first branch and apex would add balanced harmony to the image... Personal opinion of course
