Updated my JBP PDF

[Brian Van Fleet]

This article on developing a JBP has been mentioned several times over the years. I had a chance to update it again, through this spring. It may be updated again at some point in another year or so, but here is the new link to the updated article. Enjoy.

Great stuff as usually Brian, Thanks

I see it went from potting compost to a bonsai pot with inorganics in it. Do you have any pics of the transition process and how you did this? I think this is one of the main reasons my success with getting a pine into a pot is not too good...

Marie,

There are many threads on the boards right now on repotting JBP. When moving from nursery peat to bonsai soil, reduce the rootball as normal, then barefoot half. Two years later when you repot, barefoot the other half.

Naturally, all new bonsai soil is the inorganic mix.

This is an excellent resource. Thanks very much.

Brian, thank you for putting this pdf out and also keeping it up to date! It's super useful for people like me who don't know anything about pines.

By the way, I noticed that there is a spelling error (perpindicular instead of perpendicular) on the tenth page.

Wow. Looks really nice.
