Literati pine in training

[@RocamboleMan]

love it. also love seeing how it started and a few of its different versions along the way to this. really helps to learn how to look at a tree in the earliest stages and develop a vision for it. thank you for sharing!

I don't mind the rounded shoulder bend on the lower branch - rules shmules

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Really interesting because I have a scots pine just like this in terms of the lower branch and how it departs from the trunk. It is going to feature on my channel in another week I think. Very challenging trying to deal with those rounded shoulder bends :)

Cutting a smal notch out of underside to allow for a sharper bend might be the solution, but is slightly risky. Maybe try that next year at the start of the growing season?

This is a cool tree Mimo. Who is the satan of Facebook? Nice introduction to the tree and it's history

[@mimokristof-penjingheaven]

Thanx. Satan is Milan Karpišek, bonsai artist who works in Bonsai center Heidelberg. Very skillful and talented guitar builder as well. Check out his guitars at MK Kustom guitars. :)
