Dude it’s way nicer than I even expected, even for as nice as the pics were.

No piñon pines in this neck of the woods so I don’t have any experience with them but yours looks great IMO… and I think even better in the new container. Look forward to seeing them combined!

yes, IMO, it is like beeing for real in front of a "real" good old tree : we are overcome by emotions that the photos do not convey at all. It may seem excessive but for me these stones have a soul : something is happening. I had the same feeling with Jan Culek shells I recieved. And the price is quite reasonable (imo).
Do you think it will be okay in terms of stability once the tree is in?

I def agree Clem. Lots of great subtle but important details in every nook and cranny.
The piece is def not stable, but I have a creative idea to make it stable!

I'm curious to see that and the result with the tree repotted in it

Carve a daisa for it. That would be different.

I have another tree in a stone for that idea!

Here's how im keeping the pot upright and stable. I drilled new drainage holes and used the main drainage hole as an anchor point. I attached the pot with a stainless steel bolt, a stainless steel and nylon lock nut, stainless steel washer and a neoprene washer to not crush the stone. It is attached to a 1/4 inch by 12 inch thick piece of unfinished steel plate. The unfinished steel should rust over time. I like it.
With as good as this looks though, I may actually wait one more year so I can use a much much better Piñon that I collected last year. I don't want to waste this pot on a subpar composition.

This is beautiful. I love the composition, and I'm sure your piñon will look great in it.
Speaking of piñon, your seeds are going underground this weekend. Thank you.
Good to see you around again.

Good idea, and you can eventually hide the steel plate in a flat and round pot, filled with sand or moss etc
Hartinez

That for sure, but I quite like the look of the steel. Especially after it rusts out some.

potted this tree in a homemade slab/pot. Maybe it works? Maybe not? I extended out underneath the foliage and planted some high desert accents. Pussy toes, hedgehog cactus etc.
Regardless, the pot I purchased for this tree is just too dam cool. Cooler than this tree is. I have another more spectacular piñon in mind.

That works great, certainly alleviates the tipping concerns.

Agreed! Awfully stable for sure.

IMO, the pot is a little too large (i know you accept frank answers) for me, but it is quite good and it represents a landscape, a biotope And the tree will be happy in this stone (room to grow)
I'm curious to see the more spectacular piñon pine you have for the original stone

Thank you for the pics, it's an impressive tree, with ancient bark and a nice movement
It will be very interesting to see it in the shell
