Tree is Jack Pine . Pinus Banksaina , native to North America . East of the Rocky Mountains. These trees are known for there cold hardiness . 2 needle pine . This is a named cultivar . Uncle Foggy . Named for its irregular contorted branch growth . Purchased this spring . From my specialty nursery . Story is tree is from Iseli nursery on the west coast . On the trip east the air conditioning failed in the truck . I purchased this and a JM . Both with at least all new growth dead . And a certain amount of die back . Price was right . I believe I have both nursed to health . It is showing buds for next wear . The apex leader is most certainly dead . Welcome any thoughts on what to do with it. I have a idea . Just looking for other suggestions . Don’t want to . Influence others thoughts at this time . Appreciate any thoughts

Thanks . I’m reluctant to involve Jin . I’m new to these trees . I also have several younger trees . There wood is listed as not very rot resistant for pine . But we can always try . My initial thought was to fairly drastically shorten the tree . But the longer I look at it the more I like . The more natural tall profile . Plus the leaves are longer on this cultivar than my others. At any rate I plan on leaving the top for tree health and at least as a sacrificial for now . My thought for the tree . Is inspired by . The lord of the rings movie . When the dwarves hobbits and Gandalf . Are forced up the pine tree . Chased by wolves . When I repot in spring I may plant it over a shallow piece of . Slate rock . With the eventual. Tree planted on a piece of slate , to mimic a cliff edge

Kids decided it was time to put the Christmas tree up despite me.

They also decided that the lights all being white was not ok, and went about fixing it.

I agree. All white lights, blah. Creative way to correct that situation.

I thought we had others, but didn't find any.
Didn't take half as long to color them as I was afraid it would.

Overlooking the St Lawrence river. Behind my father in laws . New home . A long term care facility ( he is 97) . Just outside brockville Ontario . We have them in the area . For example at my cottage . Which would be 45 minutes straight north of this location . But we normally only see them with binoculars. Circling very high up .

Not sure about anybody else . But I like tree art . For inspiration ideas . Especially for natural pots and rock plantings . There is no shortage of material. These are all from Pinterest . I’m trying to lock down . Some unique forest planting ideas. I think of John Naka . Famous quote . Make your bonsai look like trees. So tree art in a natural setting . Instead of bonsai in a pot .
