Updated version, I'm leaving version 1 online for historical reference.
If you prefer a black and white printable version, please send me a PM or edit it yourself.
Any feedback is appreciated, please send it to me in a PM so that we can discuss it further together. If you want a technique investigated or added, same message applies.
I do not plan on making a version 3 unless there is a community need to do so.
This guide is to be used for Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) bonsai and their development. It is meant to teach people about when to perform techniques, what physical happenings are the best indicators for the timeframe of those techniques, and what the most likely results are of applying these techniques at those times.
The guide lightly touches on pest and disease management but is mostly aimed at beginner-level enthusiasts that would like a helping hand - or bonsai veterans that want to lose the calendar-bound timings and are looking for something reliable.
The guide does not touch on design or design choices, as this is something I believe people should do themselves.
