Thanks for your suggestions Steve.
You may be correct about the graft. The area slightly above the nebari has
some strange looking features which may result from grafting. Otherwise,
from here to the top, the entire trunk structure is straight without
interruption.

With Carl Rosners encouragement, I think I'll try an air layer next spring.

Thanks all.

The pinus Parv. Adcock is usually grafted, so you would have to do
something
above the graft, which mabe why it's high the trunk to the first branch.
Personally I would stick in the ground a while to fatten it up
