Hi Xavier. Nice chilled video. I'm watching while stringing a tennis racket. If it was my tree, I would always struggle with such a thick branch. Your design is excellent, but I would be chopping it and using the skinny branch at the bottom.
Yeah I'm a keen player. A couple of years ago I was going through a set of strings a week on the ball machine which gets really expensive, so I bought my own stringing machine!
Fabulous stuff Xavier! I also truffle with pines. Especially the young ones as there can be so many issues if you don't catch them in time. My biggest flaw is not cutting enough off of the knuckles and having inverse taper.
Very enjoyable video , I’ve never done any pines but this has inspired my .
Thank you.
Thanks Aron I look forward to hearing how you get on.
All Hail Nigel. I shall try you methods on my Buddhist Pine, hopefully it will survive.
Just be careful because im not as certain about podocarpus. I think it may respond differently. I would advise you to do more research. Cheers Xav.
For a channel to grow, you have to keep at it - it often seems to be not worth the effort, but every channel had to start somewhere.
Thanks for that Roger. In truth I just love hearing the sound of my own voice so I will keep going regardless :)

I knew that's what you'd go for. I may end up going that way eventually...tennis too?

We've all been there. You just have to be tough🙈
Thanks.
No worries. Bonsai is for us all to enjoy. Thank you for watching.
Hello Xavier
Could you send me a pic of this tree as it is now? I would like to draw a restyle.
