 Sold This Austrian Pine is collected from our nursery. Please notice the great movement in the trunk line and health of this tree. The trunk exhibits a slight bulge where multiple branches had emerged from whorl. There is opportunity the carve this area to return the taper as there are pruned branches on the back to help create convincing jins and sharis. This pine is an aggressive grower and will offer you more buds each Spring than you can possibly use. I suspect you already see a great tree in this healthy pre-bonsai. $450 plus packing and shipping.

We got bored waiting for someone to buy this beautiful Austrian Stone Pine, so with Rodney Clemons in town, great material in hand, we went to work. Photo June 09.
This Pine is such an aggressive grower and back-budder, it's work to keep it under control. Needle pluck the oldest growth each fall and in Spring you will have too many decisions. Just like you want!
This tree settled to the soil due to the shear weight of growth last year. The roots are very healthy and adapted to the change.
