Scots Pine styling

Found myself with a few hours to dedicate to this Scots Pine yesterday. photos of all sides

I decided on this one for the front

Dead branches de barked and wiring started.

The back

Six hours and the first styling complete but im sure ill be tweaking for weeks.

nice tree will is it collected?

Beautiful work Will. love the trunk movement and nice canopy. Will you be changing the pot?

Looks great Will.

On my weeping Scots I'm constantly trying to pull the foliage in close to the trunk. Are you going in that direction too?

Thanks for showing the progression. It is always helpful. I saved/opened the pic of your chosen front and then the finished pic, on my desktop, and could really appreciate the six hours of work you did. THANKS!

Hi Steve. This pine has been through 5 owners since it was brought down from the mountains in Italy. Why it had'nt been worked on I dont know
Hi Faisal. Yes I will be changing the pot but not for a couple of years. It'll develop very well in this one,being so roomy.
Hi Mike. This Pine is so well back budded, Idid'nt have to pull it in as much as place it. I know what you mean though, i've worked Scots plenty of times and usually rein them in!

Hi Will, good development. I just wish my garden was more Pine friendly... simply not enough sunlight (its grim up North)... I was surprised when I saw it was Italian... sure looks line a lowland Pine from the south of England

Hi Tony I cant say for sure its Italian but I was told it came through Graham Potter [ not literally...thats got to hurt!!! ] Our Pines are usually quite leggy though and i think this Pine has had a lot more sun than we get here.

Tony. Didnt i see a recent post of yours with a snake like Scots pine on a stone? Looked pretty healthy to me.
