Part 2 of Ryan Neil's lecture on pines. This part looks at single flush pines such as Scots pine both in development and refinement. Recorded at Willowbog Bonsai.
A lot depends on your location and climate, hard to be general about the answer. In the UK with a JWP in development, I would rarely pinch candles.I let them extend and the prune back branches in early Summer to produce back budding. I'm sure there's more than one way however, as with most things bonsai!!
Needle plucking is only done on multi flush pines to distribute the energy evenly across the tree. So this would include japanese black pine or japanese red pine. You might remove some needles when wiring a tree, but it is not done on single flush pines such as sylvestris (scotts) as a way of controlling energy distribution. If you are not sure then watch it again......
i guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know a method to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot my login password. I love any tricks you can offer me
@Isaiah Musa Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
May I use both technic ( cutting-pinching ) on the same tree (Wintergold mugo pine). I want to develope top of the tree but lower part of the tree at refinement stage.
What about European Black Pine or Pinus Nigra? I'm thinking specifically Austrian Pine. Is this a single or double flush species? I know japanese black is double but does this translate to all blacks?
He doesn't go into any detail about needle plucking in this portion of the lecture. Should we assume something similar to how it is handled on the two flush species?

Agreed - both very useful.
brilliant. just what i need, cheers
thank you.

Mugo is a single flush tree, as is Scots Pine and Japanese White Pine.
Thanks
so when were pinching the candles to let the bud with oxin closest to the trunk take over the growing, do we remove all the candles at the tip?
thx!

I guess I like bonsai and Ryan Neil too much, but the music at the start kinda pumps me up!
Is the mugo pine a single flush or a doble flush?
Anyone know of a good organic fertilizer?
Indeed very interesting. What kind of fertilizer would be good?
Greetings from Belgium.

There is so many options for fertiliser but the only constant is that you use organic pellet as opposed to chemical options.

@Isaiah Musa It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out!

sabri gültekin yes

Mid may to mid june? Shouldnt it be cut more like august? In june they are still growing no?
I think he is using japan calendar.
Hi, could you comment on what month it works for you best and where in UK are you?
its genersl timeframe. subject to climat and trees health. this year for me.. early spring is may.. usually march.

tmpgh1 needle pluck when your tree has been styled. Needle pluck is mainly for balancing energy distribution.
tmpgh1 when tree is still in development, we want to keep all needles to make food.
If you are in development stage of white pine. Can you pinch the whole tree all at once, every branch?
ricardo .mcinnis yes you can. do it after the needles have opened.
No, those two are single flush.
