As stated in the title I bought a Pinus Sylvestris. This one is specialy for a wiring workshop with Danny Use this weekend. Ofcourse afterwards I'll be taking the tree to his other workshops too.
It's my most expensive tree so far. :ohmy:

I was given homework by Danny -> clean the tree and remove all the old needles so there is space to apply the wire during the workshop.
Here's my homework.

Lots of space for the wires now, Fonz!
And good for the inner branches, they will certainly get more sun.
Please post here the after wiring session?

Nice looking tree with a nice bark and movement. Would love to see it with the wiring on

So the workshop got moved to a later date, hence the delay.
Wired half the tree on the workshop, the rest I did at home. The apex could use a little more work I guess…
Some more branches will have to go in the future.

Hi Fonz, work well done!
I personally would go with way smaller crown cause this one is huge for that thin trunk, but it is really up to a personal taste :)

I think I would turn the pot about 40 degrees anti clockwise for the front. It seems very one sided and not really windswept. But if you have more wiring and styling to do and your intended style is windswept then ok. I agree the apex is too much.
