Divide the turntable in eighths and take pictures turning the tree the same way each time and this can be made better. Trying to figure out a sequence here was nerve racking.....
I can slow it down too....opps, I fell out of my office chair..

360° x 4 seasons photo shoot in the works? Better call Max now?

Oh, I can do that! Shall I just email it to you? BTW, what are your thoughts - O, king-o-trident land? Hope you didn't ding your crown when you fell off your throne...
I'll try to be better about where the tree is in the shot, so it doesn't look like it's moving around.

Really very nice Judy. I love the feeling this tree gives. Spooky with all those fine twigs make me think if I turn my back it will come alive and grab me.

Looks good. Well done.

I have heard that good trees have multiple fronts. I like several on this one. Awesome piece of work. Can't wait to see it this fall and winter.

Thanks everyone, I'm glad that the feeling of the tree is able to reach out thru the pictures. I'm excited to see it rebud and send out new leaves. Hopefully I'll get even more ramification from the process. After the big storm passes through today and tonight I'll take another set of photos and see if Al will do another spinner for me.

I wouldn't even want to carry the accent plant for this thing!
Lol...
How long? Is my 5-8 year guess anywhere close?
This is one of those trees you just gotta go see in person....Ohio....here I come!

Well they are every two years, and there is one this year. So looking at probably the one after the next one, so 4 years? We will see how progress goes. If you are ever in Ohio, I would welcome you to come visit!
And actually thinking about it, would this tree even look right with an accent? Maybe best to have a one point display for this guy...

Sounds good all around!
Just don't use a full size hosta! Lol.
I think you'll have it Japanese ramified and beautiful by 8...But I would love to see it in the nationals in 4.
I'd have a, Damn...I forgot the name of it....
That can't be good....the Ryan Neil show.
I'd have a goal to get it there.
Best start saving for an 18 wheeler I reckon!

4 years is a good goal. Get those trunk scars closed and cleaned up, and triple the branch density.
You'll need a stand (required) and you absolutely should have an accent ("encouraged"...but consider it required).

Oh, and you thought the pot for a tree this size was expensive?? Wait until you start stand shopping...

Don't forget to moss! Lol!!!

I may have a stand that works for this already, if this is the pot. I think I actually like the pot combination very much, it seems to suit the tree well. Agreed about branch density, working toward that. I don't know about closing the scars in 4 years. Obviously the left most trunk is going to remain a broken "feature" I will flatten the ridges on the other ones so the scars can continue to heal around them. But they may never actually close completely. Thankfully, with my given front, they're not really visible, but I'll continue to work on it anyway.
So accent with a tree this size, would it be better to use a companion tree instead?
Take a look at this stand with this pot (before I swapped pots on the two trees...) What do you think? I would like some feedback on the current pot, 4 years is really not too early to start planning if you ask me. This picture is the other side of the pot that I'm using with the trident, its a bit busier.
Yeah, I know, that's why I'm hoping that this stand works size and style wise. If the pot is even the pot, LOL.Oh, and you thought the pot for a tree this size was expensive?? Wait until you start stand shopping...

I think I have that stand...Braswell? He makes great stands. Fwiw, it's a bit small for the tree that's on it in the pic above, but I'm not sure how piglet compares. .I may have a stand that works for this already, if this is the pot.
