Again, you shared you have had trees have died under your care. Making me more and more comfortable with just relaxing about my mistakes. (Which is a minor miracle lol). That's why I love watching you work. :) plus I am going get a chinese elm per your advice.

This tree would be stunning as a root over rock (if that was doable with the roots at this point in the tree's development), let the rock be part of the tree's base, like a sever bend over a pseudo shari; or standing tall over a rock-base that has eroded away... I would fall in love with that kind of tree.

The black pine deserves to live. I would find 3 nice rocks to pile up on that left side that will disguise the lump and add visual interest like a diorama. The lump tells a story.

I like the honesty. Don’t throw good money after bad, is a good maxim. Things don’t always go to plan. However, from my perspective, the tree is an old gentleman, it has character, it deserves to live on. I have heard you say before, that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, if you no longer want it, at least leave it at your gate for someone else to enjoy.

Not every thing in nature is perfect. I think it has character and that you should continue to try and develop the imperfections that you see. Perhaps you would eventually grow to embrace its uniqueness and enjoy the beauty of nature, regardless of the rules of bonsai.

Shame the black pine will never be right in your eyes, the lump is ugly as you say, it may just as well be a project piece that you can reduce or disguise over time, but I think you will lose interest in the tree, it’s not a lot of good having a tree hanging around that you will never see the beauty that the tree possesses, I suggest you give to one of the members of your club who may appreciate it more.

He does do things his own way which is what we should all do and not be bound by convention, sticking rigidly to the rules laid down for bonsai stymies free expression which in the end does the world of bonsai no favours.
