I like the direction that you’ve got going with that tree I think it fits the tree well. I have a few eastern white pine that I’ve been developing and there’s something very satisfying about seeing pines come into development compared to other trees. For me I think it’s that I’ve still a lot to learn about promoting backbuds and manipulating the growth in ways that help along my plan for the trees
@grobonsai

Completely agree. I think it’s because you have to get many things right, so satisfy when the tree responds. It’s like being a parent I guess

Consider the quite skinny, taperless trunk snd spread out foliage this isn’t the easiest material. Nevertheless you made the best out of this tree. Can’t wait to see this tree develope over the years.

Ants in the pot are bad news, they create dry spots. They farm the various pests that feed on trees - aphids, adelgids etc so check for pests. Brown needles could be old foliage being shed. Or if it’s current years needles may be a problem

With every clip of this pruning I wins and cringe because I have destroyed so many beautiful blends by going crazy it’s the same thing that happened with hair and what not I am 43 years old and should not be allowed to have any sort of scissors or shears or snips. Watching you has completely humbled me and I saw you restoring a Hemlock on insider and all I could think was what I would give to have an ounce of your knowledge!

@grobonsai
2 жыл бұрын
Long needle pines are used in bonsai. Their needles do reduce with good handling, appropriate pot size and soil composition. Using a large design - 70cm+ can keep the longer needles in scale. Mugo and Scots pine are good short needle pines
