Shimpaku (Two Fronts)

This is this tree for which I was fortunate to win one of the categories in the KOB 2007 Progressive Styling Contest (my entry). This Shimpaku was started as a cutting by Ken Duncan. After it was several years old and had been in the ground for a couple of those I was able to acquire it...2002 maybe??? I planted it back in the ground and continued to let it grow. It was the benefactor of a leaking koi pond for a year or two causing it to grow dramatically. The work done to this tree thus far occurred during the spring and summer of 2007...during the contest. It is current in a Chinese pot. Since then I have been letting it rest. I hope to wire it again in 2009.
