Black pine #bonsai development. Still needs some years to fill in and ramify, but showing promise. The top extension is a sacrifice branc. This allows anything under it on the main trunk line to fatten up, so in this case I am trying to improve the transition and taper from the older fat trunk and the newly established apex.
