I post this subject to reply to conversation between Adair M and me in this post https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/jbp-de-candling-all-at-once-or-in-phases.34004/
Adair M stated:
" That section between the base and the first needle is called“the neck”. And long necks suck! You see, there are no buds of any kind in theneck. It will never, ever, under any circumstances backbud from the neck.There’s buds at the tips, and there’s a bud between the needles in each pair,but none in the neck!"
Thụ Thoại (me):
"I actually found the new buds could appear in the neck areaafter I partially decanfled . If you take a look closer, there are many scaleson the neck. Those scales are the buds !"
Adair M:
"There’s scales, but they’re sterile. You can get budding right at the base, but not, say, halfway from the base to the first needle.
I’ve been messing with JBP for over 40 years! And never once has one ever budded from the neck. But I suppose I can wait for a couple months to be enlightened!"
Right after that, I did some pruning to back up my statement. I partially cut of the Spring shoot of JBP right at the center of the neck on 6/12/18
The neck
Cut right at the center of the neck
Another one

Look at them this morning.
It clearly shows the buds are emerging from the scales.
What is lesson here?
Thụ Thoại.
