This Japanese Black Pine given to me by a friend has always been a bit of an experiment to see how far I can get it to back bud on leggy branches. This year I have decided to actually place a few branches to start building a structure. A long way to go, but fun to be had in the process.
This is it before and after wiring. A few branches removed.

A Japanese red pine I tried to bend in early summer broke almost in half. It was Pressed back together, wrapped it tight with twine, covered it with Sphagnum moss, wire and aluminum. I looked at it after seeing your post and have never seen so many back buds on one branch. I don’t intend to unwrap it until spring so I hope their are no roots under the moss

Hi Paul, don’t think you’ll have much to worry about with it rooting. When you see what can be done with pine, wedges cut out and so forth, I think you should be ok with your one. As long as you have a reasonable amount of connected cambium layer.
