Very nice. I’m a few years in on mine, so nice to have something to use as a benchmark for the future.

Starting fall work - needle pulling and shoot thinning. One of the cascades, before and after.

I may shorten the cascading branch and build from here. What do you think?

Not a fan of root over rock or exposed root bonsai. But I must say. Nine years from seed to that is brilliant. Great work !

Great rock as well, and the tree will only get better with time.

A couple more after cleanup. Now 10 years from seed. Root over rock before and after wiring and an informal upright shohin JBP.

This one is actually not a Japanese Black Pine (Pinus thunbergii). It’s a Red Pine (Pinus densiflora) and it is younger - started as part of the 2018 Japanese Black Pine contest here on Bonsai Nut (the seeds I purchased turned out to all be JRP). But it was grown as a shohin and makes for a nice juxtaposition with the three year older shohin JBP.
Pictures are JRP, before and after fall needle pulling. Then the two shohin trees on the bench side by side. I think JRP are great trees, but a bit slower developing than JRP. It’ll be interesting to see this tree three years on to compare them at the same age.

So cool. Absolutely love JRP.
