Austrian black pine in development - part 1

This is an Austrian black pine, Pinus nigra austriaca, collected in Austria by Robert Barth around the year 2001. I traded this in in the spring of 2005 and immediateyl edited the tree slightly and planted it into a good pot by Derek Aspinall. In many books the Asutrian black pine is either not mentioned or considered poor bonsai material in general. Well, look at this one!
