So the county is taking my house through Eminent Domain, I already have the plans summited to the blding dept to build a new one but i have lived here for 17 years, there's woods behinds my house I can hunt and fish in so its been a really nice ride, oh well; on to something new. I'm also fairly new into bonsai and ground planted some stuff around my house. The two things that interest me the most are a trident maple and a two needle pine that the locals call a sand pine. I got about 6 months b4 I got to leave so probably sept or oct. When should I dig these trees up, I'm sure the maple probably doesn't care but I'd like to do it correctly, the pines gonna be a different story, its tough to get one of them to transplant, the ones I've put in a container all died but this ones doing OK, not great but OK, its pushing candles on the top branches so it's growing. I planted it on a tile so it should be easy to dig. Isn't there a somewhat dormant part sometime in the heat of the summer or should I wait as long as possible which would be early fall, not sure if they are going into containers or back into the ground at my new spot. Also cuz I live on the coast of Florida I'm thinking these pines might be double flush pines, how would I determine that, does something have to disturb the first flush to get the second?
