Croatian pine development

This is the black pine, Pinus nigra, that I had at the demo in Croatia in spring of 2007. I took it out of the plastic tub in spring of 2008 and planted it inot the nice round Japanese pot. In July Lena learned to make good jins. She did a nice job. Then the thickest branches were wired. now the tree will hve a rest. it was repotted in spring and I don't want to do too much with it. It will be a very nice Croatian souvenir.
