repotting one of my two year old black pines into a colander to grow for 2 to 5 years or so. the beginning of fall of their 2nd year or the early spring of their 3rd year is a good time to wire up the seedling so your future bonsai isn't straight as a... hmmm

Really am enjoying seeing the whole journey of your black pines. So many videos they show you something and you never know what happened to the tree. I am not confident i can do evergreens. I do enjoy my maples though. Keep the videos coming even the failures are informative to know about.
Nice one! I love how much mycorrhiza there is in those roots. Amazing.
right!? really gives me more confidence that I'm providing the right environment for them to stay healthy. we'll see if this level of mycorrhizae is consistent in my other 2yr olds.
@@DarthMasiah Hi 🙋♂️ Where did it come from? Did you put it in there?
@@mishosashiki6557
i grew my pines from seed without adding any store bought mycorrhizae, so i guess it floats through air till it finds a pine and just goes crazy, love at first sight.
How are they looking these days?
not too bad. they look healthy this spring. should be a good growing season. going to start decandling this year. here's my latest post www.bonsainut.com/threads/jbp-from-seed-for-the-1st-time-the-force-is-not-strong-in-this-one.40009/post-1109669
Looking good, question - where do you get/order your orange net containers from?

search for 'plastic colander'
So that's how the plants end up having those cool twists in the trunk!
Yeah wiring young plants for pruning is how the trunk has movement . I believe these are for a Bonsai Nut contest that is online so he had to make smaller trees so it’s faster
Hi 🙋♂️ Thanks for sharing! Could you explain what is the point in putting trees into mesh pots?
well, with deciduous trees like my kotohime maple for example, after you grow a small shoot out to the desired trunk thickness for a number of years, either in a big pot or in the ground, the main roots coming out of the nebari are usually too big in relation to the trunk for the best balance in a bonsai composition. so i can just airlayer it and the roots will be in better proportion.
with pines, the roots you get are the ones you get. using colanders is one way to control the size of the roots as the trunk is thickening so the roots don't get out of proportion. some people thickening pines in the ground use grow bags to somewhat slow the roots down. some trench around the pine every so often, and this is basically the same technique i use. the colander is an auto trenching device. when roots growing out hit air, they die off and the root system bifurcates along the main root and increases ramification and slows thickening. in a regular pot or in the ground the root just keeps circling the pot, growing out of proportion to the composition and not increasing ramification of fine feeder roots.
@@DarthMasiah Thank you 🙏
I go to the dollar tree for colanders.
so lucky 😁
dude, how many plants you have now?
46 going into '21. and i have about 200 seeds and 40 cuttings that might join me this year.
@@DarthMasiah your hard work is producing results.

You can wire it without repotting it, or you can repot it without wiring it. One at a time, and the rest later. You should avoid as much as possible doing two major jobs at the same time. They should be at least a month or two apart. It will recover, but stress is one main reason a seedling will stun it's growth. A fast growing variety will recover quickly, but the conifers are slow.
this is true. it's always best to take it slow.
Why don't you use the "anchor" wire to shape the trunk, it would make life so much easier ?
that's definitely an option. I've done that with some maple cuttings and it works.
@@DarthMasiah I've seen many Japanese commercial growers do it...I'm looking to start growing a number of trees specifically for bonsai.
@@BillyBobJoeSnr oh yeah. production efficiency is a must
Is the weed you are smoking good ?
sometimes
How many months old did you move from a small place to a, bigger place
this tree was 22 months old. they were starting to get hard to bend at 2yrs old, so i think I'd prefer wiring, and maybe repotting if I'm going for an exposed root style, around 18 months old in the fall. but only if i want a small tree with crazy bends.
@@DarthMasiah owww.how to deal with black pine stem rot
