Hi,
I know these are just saplings, but is it ok it the JBP is that tall? I think its like... really tall. I think I want to make it a formal upright. But someone said its a little late on its candle development? I don't know everything about these tree's, so I ordered the mastering JBP and JWP book on amazon. Which should be coming today. Its by Bonsai masters today I think.
And I think I have the desire to make this JWP an informal upright form, with just a slight curve, so it looks like a formal upright but it has some movement (sorry, I don't know how to describe it. I really love this look on JWP.
But for now, I want to field grow these. I think I might field grow them in a larger terra cotta pot next spring. Any tips for field growing these or any other advice is appreciated.
I contacted the seller, adamsbonsai, he said the black pine is a mikawa variety and he obtains the seed from japan. the white pine, he just said its a pinus parviflora (and he gets the seed from japan I think). He also said his stock is disease resistant and insect resistant as well. I also have akadama, pumice, and peat moss. I will switch to hyuga pumice in later years.
Sorry, Im trying to get on the right foot here.
Thanks!
Porter
