Big box store black pine.

[Poink88]

People say that you can't find something worth while at box stores or normal nurseries. I only wish I would have taken before pics when I first purchased a few months ago. Black pines are Something you don't find here At local non bonsai nurseries. Well this spring to my surprise I found a place who had three of these. In my excitement a bought two of them without thinking for about $50 a piece. As I said before I wish I took before pics. With imagination you can tell where I cut off branches and how it might have looked before. It was a very pretty conical yard tree. I think I might have something in this one. I will continue to take normal black pine technique with the lower part while letting the top part grow to let the trunk grow thick.

Good job!

Wish I've known how to handle JBP when I purchased mine from the nursery (I killed it quick)
