This is one from 2018I just sold to john Romano. I grow mostly containerized trees although I put 250 from the 2018 batch in the ground just for fun, we will see how those look in the spring. I reslly do most of my stuff on my FB page which is open to the public if anyone wants to look

Lack of willingness to learn horticulture

If you are starting with seedlings(especially conifers)from nature then your first years have been a crap shoot. To me those first few months and up to 24 months is the period to encourage radial roots from the trunk using various techniques. Collecting 2 or 3 yr old pine seedlings seems to be...

You are creating to much shade with the long needles above the “shohin” zone. All the little buds you want growing are in the shade, as your leader extends cut those needles short as the next candle extends. You will get the buds down low moving. I start cutting needles the second year and it...

You need to decide what you want to produce, try it both ways and see which you like

Yes, but this is just a single cut

You will be amazed how these bulk up after 2 or three years in the ground, 5 or 6 years is even better. If people make bonsai out of them at this stage it’s more a yatsubusa maple than an actual bonsai

Idk, I guess when they die you know you’ve gone too far

Do yourself a favor throw it out and start right, why would you start to create a bonsai 3yrs in the hole

You can get 360 radial roots on everyone if you take your time.

I’m out, a friend in Canada put a hold on all I have left,

I sent you a message

Yeah, historically I’m really bad at selling, just call me up then I can’t dodge ya

I have 3000 to repot in various stages, it’s an ongoing process. Warm clear poly tunnel is all you need

A random selection, end of 2nd growing season, now that I have my entire crop on one level of radial roots arranged nicely I will now pot into akadama pumice, cutting out any crossing and or dominant roots, potting 300 to start

Those look great,

Thousands of them growing in the sand dunes in RI like this one. Growing in pure sand. They collect really easily. I collected this one spring ‘18

With bottom heat they throw roots in 9 to 12 days, sometimes less. No bottom heat could take 30 days and yield few roots

Yeah I love messin with pines , last years and this year production came out really special. The one not wired is a thrice cut, it’s 1/4” wider in the trunk than any I cut twice, it’s 3/4” at soil line tho

Really happy with this batch

Here is a good one, I guess this is about 15 months from the last cutting, I cut the needles from the first flush this year to bring more UV to the base buds so they pop open and grow. This will be a 3 or 4” tall tree,,,, I love messing around with pines

The perlite 60/ peatmoss 40

You gotta put it like that. That’s not natural

This is where I’m at 1yr and 2 months from last cut. I’m pleased. Just listening to Kirby and Jonas. I would not be aggressively pursuing jbp production without the influence of these two

This is definitely my best year,
