    I love these tutorials as I am getting so much better at identifying which branches you are going to cut. That last pine, though was a surprise, as I didn’t see how you were going to create a new leader, as you inadvertently cut the leader sometime ago. I guess I didn’t see that branch which you trained as the new leader, and now the tree is looking very plausible. Thank you Peter, for having taught me so much! My big sorrow is the inability to purchase your trees. We live in a bonsai wilderness, as there is nowhere to get any reliable pre bonsai trees or pots. I’m soldiering on however. I need more instruction as to how to over winter our trees, as it drops to - 25 on a regular basis and there is no place in my garden for a greenhouse or poly tunnel. More research is required! Thanks once again in keeping my hopes alive that one day I might be able to produce a reasonable bonsai!

It is mid July here, so I'm hoping it will survive the trip and I need to know what to be ready for in care as the summer trolls on and fall approaches. Thanks Sir Peter!!!

    Good morning Peter. I have achieved rear budding in my black pine, which is practically the same as the ones you are wiring, I have got two candles half the length of the first branch perfectly arranged on each side, but together with the original branch there would be three. My question is if you would take the opportunity to branch that branch from further back by cutting the main one and forming the branch from those two new shoots or would you remove one of them and continue working with the main branch and the new shoot?

    • @chrishallewell8607
      @chrishallewell8607 3 года назад +3

      Trimming needles wouldn't effect the next set of growth unless you removed so much photosynthetic mass that you weakened the tree to the extent that it didn't have the energy to produce longer needles. You reduce needle size on a pine the same way as you reduce leaf size on a deciduous tree, by increasing ramification and constricting the root growth (combined with decandling in a multiflush pine). However this is a process for when you're looking to refine your tree. If youre in the development stage (looking for trunk thickness, priamary branch development, back budding, root regeneration and wound healing) you dont remove any needles at all.

      IMHO the best route to achieve back budding is leaving as many needles on the tree as possible. This will lead to maximum sugar and starch production and maximum vascular tissue production which is what ultimately gives you back budding. You can achieve this through plucking needles, but this is a stress response by the tree, weakening it with no guarantees that it will have enough energy for those buds to develop into needle mass

    Do the black pine needles shorten over time or do they stay long?

    • @maximinix
      @maximinix 3 года назад +4

      With the right technique Japanese Black Pine (JBP, pinus thunbergii) needles can become short: Begin to mid-June cut every candle on the tree, leaving about 1mm of green. 3-4 weeks later you will get 3-5 small candles at the base of every cut. You can then do candle selection if you wish, keeping the 2 most interesting (growing in the right direction, giving the best esthetic, etc). The trick works because JBP is a multi-flush pine. Most other pines are single flush, meaning they produce one flush of candles per year. The second flush of candles on the JBP now only has summer and fall to grow: too short to produce long needles.
      Warning 1: Apply the technique only on a very healthy JBP.
      Warning 2: Apply the technique only on Japanese Black Pine (pinus thunbergii), not on the European Black Pine (pinus nigra, austrian pine). Pinus nigra is a single flush pine: the technique can kill the tree.
