I'm going to be trying this, this fall with some Virginia Pines (East Coast US pine with many similar characteristics to JBP). Thank you for helping show the way!

Cool, open a file when you do it
here are pics of this tree now . It has grown very well this year.

Some new pics after a few works on this group. The main tree (leaning on the right) will grow more in height and thickness, to become the biggest and tallest of the group.
Different variations of the front side ->
the small trunk in the middle with its future new top ->
The bark becomes mature, year after year (this group is 25 years old approx) ->

Great to see! May I ask why you went back to a deeper pot? To get the main tree thicker faster?
I was under the impression that bark maturing is faster in a smaller pot. Won't you loose this with the bigger pot?

Looks like the same pot. It was just nestled in another pot and cinder block in previous photos.

Very nice progression! Really like the work you’ve done! I started a clump of 5 three years ago. Hoping to keep them going for a long time.

it is the same since a few years now, and the tree enjoys to be cultivated in such a deep pot. But it isn"t the best pot to show it in the future (too deep).
I agree with you, i think the tree's bark developps more if the tree struggles more, with less fertiliser, less growth. Just an impression. In the wild, the worse condtions (poor soil, wind, snow, aridity) = the better to get a nice yamadori with deep bark

Hey @Shogun610 . Have you seen this progression before? Reminded me a lot of your pine group. Could be a great source of inspiration for you.
Great work on this @clem

Nice roots on the repot photo.. they indeed look very old regardless if they are very thin. Old don't have to be thick.. they look very Mature

Hi, i styled this tree again.

Yesterday, I made a mekiri on this tree. I also removed the big candles of the big sacrifice branche on the main tree, to enable good sap flow and good back budding on the main tree.. I let a 5 mm stub on the strongest candles, to slow down the emergence of new buds and thus try to balance the tree.
pics before -> after
The big candles on the right come from the sacrifice branch ->
We will see the result in 1 month
