Limber Pine grows within the Rocky Mountains, and when yow will discover a very good one, it’s like hooking a halibut quite than a cod. It’s bought higher than common needles, buds again nicely, and trunks with deadwood abound.
Years in the past, in 2014, this Limber Pine bought its first styling. Tree courtesy of the gents at Backcountry Bonsai—in truth, Steve Varland of Backcountry visited and helped model this tree: Helix Root Limber Pine Styling.
After first styling.
Now in 2024, 10 years later, there’s much more foliage to play with.
Limber Pine after rewiring, roughly following the preliminary styling. The low proper steadiness department retains the tree from falling over to the left, visually talking, at any price. Tree wired by Carmen Leskoviansky.
All the time a leaning tree model, it has leaned over much more the final 10 years. I quite prefer it. Enhances the leaning model really feel, and it options the double helix factor of roots. However it could want a repot at a slight angle to the best nonetheless.
Really it is a good instance of a pine that has not wanted a repot in 10 years. The shoots have been sturdy, the soil drains nicely, the tree continues to be glad. Whereas it could not want a repot, we’d do one for the slight angle change.
