Hello Friends,
I live in London and am back again with my impatient questions. Have gone through quite a few posts on internet but still want final suggestions on my tree, attached here. Unless I have spent one full cycle with Pines, I will not become confident with Pinching, de-candling, needle plucking etc.
As per the advise from a local bonsai nursery, I had cut short many of the candles when they were still emerging in the spring this year, and were say one/two inches long.
Now that all the trimmed and non-trimmed candles have become shoots and the needles have formed, I see that there are many shoots jutting out, hurting the round shape of this tree and so I was thinking of trimming again. Most of the shoots have formed their bud at the tip for next spring and those which had been trimmed in spring, some of them have formed new buds, as can be seen in the picture.
My question is, Can I, at this time of the year, trim back the new growths to get back the round shape ? trim back the new tiny growths to get back the round shape ?
