I tried to open that link on my iPhone, but it only came up in Japanese.
That little tree had a lot of candles. You can remove some and keep some in the spring prior to decandling, or you can break them back prior to decandling...
All kinds of ways to do it. The exact procedure you do might vary for each particular tree and what your goals for that tree are. That one is a shohin. So, they don't want the branches to get too thick. So prior to decandling, some candles need to be removed and/or broken back to prevent excess swelling.
Then, later in the summer, mid July probably, the tree will get decandled. He may choose to do the 10 day technique or the one day technique, or a combo of both.
Since I can't get the article to read in English, I can't really say too much. But I think you are misinterpreting the "candle breaking" only being a JWP technique. It's used with JBP, too. Decandling is not used with JWP. So, I think what the blog was trying to say that sometimes it's appropriate to to a JWP technique (candle breaking) on a JBP if the JBP is too vigorous.
That's nothing new, John. It is a subtle nuance about JBP care. Boon teaches stuff like that in his classes.
I wouldn't bring something like that up here because most here would only get confused. I mean, there's many here who unfortunately assume "two needles" equates to "double flush", which would be incorrect.
As an example, look at AlainK's post in this thread. Watch the video, then read his post below. Reading and watching that, I would be totally confused. The video is about JBP. It's a demo and a lady is trying to translate what the Master is saying in Japanese into English on stage. His post is about Scots pines. Who wouldn't be confused?
When I post about pine care, I try to keep it simple.
