Very cool for a Pinea!! I would really like to hear your approach and also how you started this piece. Collected, seed, what local youre in, etc. I grabbed a few saplings from Croatia and they might be halepensis but Pinea and Halepensis appear to be quite close in technique and growth habits.

I’m in Santa Cruz, CA - Zone 9. Here’s a progression: Stone/ Umbrella Pine-Pinus pinea



I love my Colorado Blue Spruce. Collected by Todd Schlaefler custom pot made by DaSu studio . Photos are pre and post bud pinching. I call it a semi-cacade raft.

Next tree is any rose bonsai.

Why I love it is the ramification and refinement achieved from pinching and post elongation pruning. My understanding elongating species has expanded with work on this hardy species!

Nice trees I have one I’m styling like the one you see in Rome. It’s be in the forum q&a severe rimea

Maybe try another type of tree to keep it moving?….

Rosemary bonsai??

Rosemary. I was trying to keep this going and I didn’t see there another response in the thread so I’m editing because it’s out of order. Steven posted:
