shohin_branches' limber pine bunjin

I put it in front of the backdrop to get a clearer photo of it.


I have this Sarah Rayner pot on deck for next spring. I tried to get it in there with the first repot but it just didn't fit yet. I'll keep my eyes open during the Chicago show this year for another pot option too. I didn't have anything in this size range when I initially got the tree and the pots get very expensive at this size.

The actual angle is 45°, which a very good angle to focus more on the movement than on the linearity/stiffness of the trunk.
I tried to raise the tree 2 times (7 degree) to see if the result is good. For me, the more the tree is raised up, the more straight and steep the trunk looks and we lose dynamism

The original 45° angle is on the left side ->

The far right image is what looks "right" to me but of course it's your tree and what ultimately is right is what looks right to you.

Yes the new photo with back drop does make it look better.

Hello @shohin_branches. With the new pic, I tried different angle changes, the original angle (picture) is on the left ->



For me, the best tilt angle is 45° (center pic) and the nebari looks good too.. So I made a virtual with a similar pot of the Sarah Rayner pot you have in stock.. ->

Another virtual with the original angle, which is nice.. ->


Comparison with different angles, I hesitate between the first two (left and center) ->

I appreciate the mockups @clem. This tree was collected in 2019 and had the first repot in 2023 where I ran out of time and didn't get it set at the right angle but it did end up slightly better than before. I will definitely reference these when I'm repotting next spring. Thank you!
