pinus uncinata

Hi everybody.
I'm a new and novice french bonsaika.
Please let me present you my first tree, a pinus uncinata yamadori.
I want some help for working on it this year.
If you have any idea, please fell free to post
Regards,
Stephane

Very attractive tree. You may want to wire the smaller trunk so it doesn't turn toward the parent trunk quite so abruptly.

Hi JimLewis

Thank you.
Yes you're right, the smaller trunc is in the opposite direction it must have.
According to me, the principal work will be to restylate the son. For the father, trunc mouvement is ok, and good conicité. Just put in place branches.

Like this for example (a virtual for a french bonsaïka) :

michael has a little pine very similar to yours that he has done a beautiful job on styling

my two principal ideas between 7

But in the first one I must cut the principal branch of the father

Another idea, always from a friend of mine.

This is a great first yamadori piece. I like the last design but I think it would look better with the son angled upward more towards the main trunk. You can cut a thin V notch to help in this process. It closes up as you bend the smalller trunk in.

Don't rush the styling of it, Pines are long term trees.

Hi kev,

It's a good suggestion thank you. I'll think about it.

Another idea (always from a french bonsaika).
I like this one very much, it is a little bit similar to the last one.
What do you think about it?

Two ideas from ABE Kurakichi ...It's on the good road
I prefer the first one, because my tree is not a sokan but have just a first branch near his nebari

I found a tree wich is similar (the same in bigger). I'll inspire myself for mine.
It's a pinus sylvestris from Didier Lanoe. You can see it here
