November1996
Bought from Herons Bonsai at Swindon show for£155.
Several inner branches from the back of the lower right branch have died
back.This is a problem with all pines that are not maintained well. |

April 1997
The tree is candling well and throwing some back
budding. |

Spring 1998 |

September 1999
After some detailed wiring and good feeding the tree is
now taking shape, but it now needs a re-pot, due to the roots putting on
so much growth that the tree is pushing itself out of the pot!! |

Repotted in February 2000 into pot by Walsall
Ceramics.
I still need to let the crown go a bit to get a rounded dome.
It still looks immature at the apex. |
