Japanese Garden trees

[Jzack605]

I put in an absolutely beautiful JBP for my parents. It has a prostrate growth and a great trunk. I did a little root collar excavation, removed the top of burlap and twine and a light prune. (I lied slightly, i sourced the tree and had someone else plant it). Planning on eventually lifting the sides that are low to showcase the branch and trunk structure better. Anyone get into this?

I like that pine tree.

Niwaki--you got some work to do on those candles...

Niwaki are great fun, and provide opportunities to pratice pruning/refining on a larger scale. Great videos @rockm

Great videos. You think decandle? I was going to mostly leave it be this season but have been undecided if I want to decandle/reduce candles or not.

If you've just planted it, probably a good choice.
