Hi Rob,
Thanks for your nice comments. I'm glad you like the pine. As for your own, if you really want branches lower down, you can simply graft them on. It's not hard and is used on most of the better pines in the world. Just be sure to use shoots from the apex of the tree for these branches. You need strong, vigorous shoots for use on the lower parts of the tree. That way they have the tendency to grow strongly enough to be useful down there.
