Can’t wait to get it in the new pot.
Thanks, black backgrounds tend to highlight the silouhette, which is good in this case. White backgrounds tend to show structure and details...which this tree isn’t quite ready for!Great photography set up!
I like the black background for this tree as it currently is because it hides the guy wires.
But, if the intention is to show them, as part of a demonstration of technique, the white background is great!
The tree looks great either way.
Yes.Hey Brian, amazing tree and thanks for documenting the progress so helpful for those of us learning and always working to get better! So my question I have a JBP that I have had for 25 yr. it’s time for a repot I’m going to assume this is an appropriate time to preform this? Looks like your in a similar climate to mine.
Im still figuring out thing in the south since I moved here a couple years ago from PA. Thanks

As I remember his reasoning for withholding fertilizer until after hardening off was to prevent the new growth from extending a lot so you'll get shorter internodes and keeping the needles from lengthening.Boon also recommends to resume fertilization about a month after decandling.
I’m not a Ryan student, so I can’t say why he recommends what he does.
