I bought this Austrian pine today from a local garden center. They all head buds low on the trunk. I liked this one the best becouse of the bark. This tree had buds all the way around the trunk. I want to make a shoin size bonsai. Im thinking of choping the trunk above the first set of branches. Is there any thing I need to do to insure as many of those buds grow as possible. Also when is a good time to repot into a basket? Do I work it like a Mugo and do it in july, or now as the candles look to have expanded? Will repoting effect the buds on the tree?
