Dragon’s Tale Update
Posted by Rob Kempinski on Jun 29 2009
Right before a thunderstorm rolled in this evening we had gentle diffuse light so I grabbed my camera and took a hasty shot of my large Japanese Black Pine I call the “Dragon’s Tale.” You can find a formal portrait of this on my large trees page, but I thought I’d post this update. The tree looks so much better this year than it did last year when it suffered a bit from needle cast. It has no wire on it now but will get detail wire in August. The wire will help refine the pad shapes. The soil has lots of fertilizer and the bark could use a cleaning - in due time. Please excuse the messy background and the garish white pool enclosure supports.

Dragon has been taught to pose very well.
Excellent

Hi Louis,
Nice meeting you in Puerto Rico. You did a great job on your demo. I plan to post many photos here. So we can demonstrate the “Rebel Without a Pause.”
