Scots Pine No. 2

The Scots Pine forest composition's quality and potential are built around the brilliant vessel made by Erik Krizovensky. His container imitates a high, precipitous cliffside environment. Immature Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) seedlings were wired to create the subtle shapes that show the changing movement of trees occupying differing positions in the cliffside environment. Both elements combined to show a unique forest form in a very compressed conceptual space. The wire on the trunks are just starting to bite in. They were left intentionally to form slight scars that will enhance the rapidity of bark formation on young pines. It should be removed next spring and the trees left to heal for a year. The next owner will see a tremendous amount of backbudding and branch development, set up by the health this tree achieved over the course of this year. This is still very much in its beginning phases but its youthful vigor and intense health will rapidly advance this composition over the next few years.
