Hello fellow bonsai people,
I have just received a Pinus contorta Willow Creek Lodgepole pine. The candles are getting long now, the major ones are about 1-1/2 inches long. I need to know if its ok to candle prune them. All my conifers are still in the dormant stages as we are still in 40 degree weather. I don't want to hurt this new Bonsai, but would like to control future growth. This tree has a 1 inch diameter trunk and is about 10 inches tall. Any help will be greatly appreciated. This is my first try with a lodgepole pine, so don't hurt me.
