Hi all This is a small Pinus sylvestris i started with early this year. Here the tree in March: I styled the tree in March. This is the tree now in the begining of autumn. Best Julio

Updated version, I'm leaving version 1 online for historical reference.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. I do not plan on making a...

Needles stopped extending ✓ New Buds are present ✓ Plants are healthy ✓ Needles have fully opened ✓ 3 more months before the fall temperature drop ✓ All of the above have a check mark, so the conditions are met. It doesn't matter where in the world you are, these are the things that matter. You...

Hey, I just bought one month ago this scots pine/pinus sylvestris, I already wired it. I would like to ask you if you can help me to style this tree and which branch to cut so I get rid of this wheel wagon shape (picture 1). The front of the tree (picture 2) - Should I decandle or is it too...

A small guide to.. Guide people in the care of pinus sylvestris techniques. If you are missing something important that's not very obvious to a plant owner (I think water pH and watering are obvious, for instance) Please let me know in a PM so I can improve in version 2.

I thought I had a thread for this tree, but I guess I’ve only put it into the Tree Thread. Here we go! I scored a Telperion Scots Pine in 2017 for a song. It was in their bargain section, having been almost fully infected by needlecast (causing massive loss of interior buds and branches). This...

Is Pinus sylvestris Beuvronensis better for bonsai than the usual scotts pine? Are the needles shorter? Are they grafted or grown from seed?

Hey everyone, I picked up this giant Sylvestris at my local nursery for a steal a month or so ago. I couldn't pass it up with a trunk that size. I'm super happy with how vigorous it is, but I need some advice. Once the needles harden off I need to do some significant branch reduction. Where the...

Last week I purchased this Scots pine. It was collected last spring in France. It's in good health, loads of buds popping up, even in the interior of the canopy. What attracted me was the nice movement in the base, deadwood and the long, elegant trunk. There are a lot of finer branches to work...

Hello! This is my first collected tree, a scots pine (pinus sylvestris). I found it on the edge of a cliff. I know it is not a very nice tree, especially the taper, but I thought it would be ok for me to have as a first go at yamadori. I spent an hour cleaning off the reindeer lichen and moss...

Today I bought a 3" trunk diameter Dwarf Blue Scots Pine nursery tree. This will be a long term project and it is my first Scots. I suspect this is grafted but I have yet to see an obvious union mark. I did a tiny bit of digging around the trunk and found field soil with some fine feeder...

It's been a while since I started anything from seed, and I'm on a bit of a pine kick so I started collecting for next year. So far I have ripe cones from what I believe to be: Bosnian pine, Mugo, a glaucus Scot's pine, and a green Scot's pine. I'm trying to stick with species that are easily...
