Hi all
I'm currently trying to grow JBPs in the tropics. Consequently they don't seem to have much of of a dormancy period. They basically grow all year round. Thus their growth pattern seems to differ significantly from the temperate climate advice generally given on forums and books.
Considering that most advice regarding repotting pines centres around doing it while the tree is dormant, this seems irrelevant for JBPs in the tropics.
So when then should repotting occur?
Also how do you manage needle length when the growing season is so long? When would it be advisable to cut candles?
Any advice would be deeply appreciated.
