@Adair M ,
Well Sifu,
as the J.B.pine information goes, Bonsai Today and what you have shared.
We have to stop.
We are experiencing something new, loss of small branches. Just a few, 3 but
never had that happen before.
So rather than lose anything, we have handed the research over to the younger
guys. They are being gifted with 25 to 40 J.B.pine seedlings and as they
gain experience growing the pines. They will be later gifted with rooted hardwood
cuttings.
Some sort of adaptation to a zone 13 takes place, as the pines age past 8 or so
years, candles become short, 1/2 inch to 1 inch in length [ as I mentioned to
you before a few years ago ] and the trees continue to grow well.
Just no needles getting shorter.
[ save for a set which achieved 1 inch accidentally ???]
So, Thank You very Much !!!
But we decided lush is better than dead.
Perhaps stick to 2 and 3 foot specimens.
Maybe one of the other guys will figure it out.
Good Day
Anthony
