Excellent yamadori sylvestris. How long between collection and styling Pavel?

thank you for compliment. to Kev- from the collection passed two and a half years. Best reg. Pavel S.

Pavel,

this is one of the best first stylings that I have ever seen posted on bonsai forums. Congratulations to go yor own way and making sure your pine does not look like a bonsai pine at all, but very much like a natural one.

Mr. Walter Pall. Thanks for the compliment, I am pleased that you like. I admit that this idea I had in shaping the first pick and I have a very good feeling. Best regards Pavel S.

Agreed! This looks like a real pine that I would see here in the 'lowlands' of Maryland. Often wondered why no one styled them this way.

Pavel,excellent, a "real " looking tree!

Hi Pavel,
Nice find and well worked ,but I have to disagree with the
natural look, the image though beautiful is I feel one of a deciduous
tree, Scots by there nature abort the bottom branches ,up and down
here in the UK we see these beautiful Literati Scots, anyone driving
to Folkstone will know what I mean, still it does,nt distract from the
your tree and your work on it, excellent!!!!!!

to Velodog2-Unfortunately, not often have a possibility to work with so naturally the prepared material. Thanks for the observation. to Alex and tucker - thanks for the nice reply.

A scots pine in Finland in the TYPICAL growth pattern.

I kike the multitrunk style Pavel. Nice job on the initial styling. The tree though still looks a bit immature. As the photos Walter posted reveal taper and motion will convey age. If you can induce taper and more motion in the finer branches the tree will look more mature and stately. Motion can be added with wiring, taper will take time. Cutting back and regrowing.

Hi Walter,
Very typical with 3/4 of the trees branches aborted !
your first photo conveys the difference between the mature
tree in the background & the immature tree in front of it with
its very straight branches pointing directly up, still would,nt
say no to it in my collection

Hello Pavel. I was curious if this pine was found growing in rock. It looks from the picture it is growing in rock. I was wondering if it was difficult to extract and were you able to save many roots?

Great Job with first styling!

Hi Rob. Thanks for your opinion, this is a pine at the beginning of the journey bonsai and due to its vitality is not the problem styling branches as needed. Best regards Pavel S.
