I have been considering selling this black pine for a while now.  Not that it is a bad tree, but that it is not very big and is kind of a so-so tree.  However the other day I noticed that it may be better if I change it to a semi cascade.

Once I turned the pot I was amazed how much more interesting this tree could be! I already know that I want to put it in a beautiful (and expensive) crescent bonsai pot, but now I need to figure out which way it needs to be tilted

To the right the bottom branches would have to be removed completely.

To the left (my preferred side) the branching becomes more difficult. I guess I just need to look at the trunkline and pretty much develop this tree all over again. In any case it will be repotted this coming Winter. I can’t wait!
