Maybe I should wait until spring here. Thank youAny long extensions cut back to a pair of leaves - leaves side to side instead of top and bottom if possible. Anything growing toward the interior. Thin out top most, middle next, bottom less to let light get inside. Take off lignified limbs that are too straight for too long.
Thanks! I am still learning as well, but so far, it seems to bud back every time I have trimmed it, don't know if it is a flush pine, like a JBP, but it does grow well and pretty aggressive sense I have had it. I do love the color of this species and the short needles as well, I am hoping I can get the needles even shorter down the road.I love the natural design!
Any tips you've learned from working on these?
Here's mine, getting ready to have the big sacrifice chop this fall.

I think you develop bonsai faster than anyone I've seen!
After grocery shopping. I really started goofing off. My hawthorn tree had a fern in it before but it died this springLike the tree thread, a pic required w/each post. Just for fun.
I thought it would be a fun thread for everyone to post what the did today regarding their Bonsai collection, along the lines of the tree thread where a pic is required or it didn't happen w/your post. Before and after even better but not required.

Some people will hate it. Others say it's a detriment to the tree. Me? I've become accustomed to it and liked the effect. So today I selected an appropriate one from the garden and replaced it. The hole was already there cause earlier I removed some roots that leafed out and repotted them.
