Thank you
@bonhe for informing us about these pines. I now have about 200 seedlings in 4” pots and 3 gal. grow bags from last year. The largest are about 12” tall, grown from seed in anderson flats. I have noticed they can be wired, but are brittle, like japanese red pine. Has anyone figured out how to get these to backbud? They seem primarily prone to apical growth.
You are very welcome Farwest.
My tallest one is 46 cm as this morning. I did not wire them yet, but I think it is flexible as JBP. Maybe because you tried to wire it when the weather is still cold ?
I believe it will be very easy to backbud . Please look at this one. I just took its picture this morning.
The upper trunk with new shoot started about 1 month ago
The middle trunk developed in last season. There are a lot of new shoots (in yellow circles) arising from the old needle bundles even though these pines were not pruned at all so far
I am looking forward to wiring them probably next month and will transplant them to the one gallon pots in next winter.
Please show us yours. Thanks
p/s: I can see a lot of 3 needle bundles on these pine. It will be changed to 2 needle bundles later on I think.
