Hey, Austrian black pine question(S).
1. Do they back bud from areas with or without needles?
2. What is the best way to get them to back bud? (young tree, I've had it for three years and it was about 18 inches tall when I bought it).
3. When trunk chopping, how much can sefely be removed at a time?
My goal is to first get the tree to back bud (its kinda lanky). Then trunk chop it (there is no movement in the trunk) wire up a new leader and continue the development from there.
All input is appreciated, this is my first venture into pine bonsai, and my first post here! (brave new world)
