Hello everyone! I talked to my local bonsai nurseryman and I asked them about which pine is good for growing in our region. They told me JBPs tend to grow well here. I ordered this Mikawa JBP approx. 4-6 years old, they said.
I’m not the best at finding a design, specially to pines at such a young age. So I’d like to see y’all’s input at a possible front or where to go next from what I got.
I read through Jonas’ blog tips on developing pines, @Adair M thoughts on other articles here, as well as @Brian Van Fleet 's comments, and other myriad posts.
My plan is basically to keep that long extension going up as a sacrifice branch and then keep the lower portion for a trunk and then the others for branches.
looks to be quite a healthy specimen.
I added some osmocote plus meanwhile I find a organic fertilizer to help it get nutrients before (our very mild) winter.
Spring, also repot it into some APL and into a pond basket or colander as well, to take it off of the organic nursery soil.
This is a one gallon pot.
