Slow improvement.

A very quick update post of THIS pine.

From where we last left off, the pine had been un-wired during the previous season and had grown out quite a bit, hence needing a little tidy up. Recently toward the end of this last winter, it made it into the work shop for a quick wiring before the candles got too fragile.

Above: de-wired and grown out of shape.

Above: The first step was bending the lower branch down further to try and separate the foliage masses a little more into individual zones.

I only wired what was needed which essentially meant only the main branches and sub branches were wired. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out and think it is evolving nicely.

For comparisons sake, below is how it was in 2021 vs. after the styling today.

the combination of a narrower apex area and a more separated lower branch all work together towards a solid slow improvement over the years.
