Mystery pine with looping deadwood. Here's a tree that anyone would like to have in their collection. Unfortunately, I don't know who the lucky owner is. I found it on pinterest, which tends to be a maze of dead ends when it comes to pinning down the source. It looks like it could be a Ryan Neil tree (Bonsai Mirai), but no luck finding it there. Thanks to several people (see comments) I now know that Ryan Neil did style this tree. It was a demo for Bonsai Focus.
We almost never do one tree posts, but circumstances insist that we move on to more critical issues. I made the mistake of upgrading my Apple operating system and now about half the programs I use are having nervous breakdowns (including this one and even worse, my email). The good news is there are some very smart people around, and one of them is coming by today to lend a hand. Wish me luck.

This appears to be the white pine Ryan Neil styled in a demo for Bonsai Focus.
Amazing tree!
