I just acquired 10 japanese black pine 4 year old trees. Un trained no wire just little trees. Any advice, comments. Also have 3 extra if anyone wants one.

I would love one or three. Will cover shipping costs.

I paid 30 each you could pay that online and probbly get free shipping at that price. But yeah I can ship you one.

Wire them up in the fall and put some movement into those trunks

If you like those just wait till @cmeg1 has another batch of his ready again. It will blow your mind how robust and fast growing they are.
These 3 are in their second year.

Thanks!

My air condioner did not do the job in the heat……I have about 600 outside that will spruce up very nicely over the August,quite healthily too,but they did not get the super good start that the co2 fertilization promotes these starters.
The good news is I will have nearly 1800 of the super invigorated ones in Spring as the grow fascility does not need air conditioning over the winter months!!!!
Thanks again

I sure hope not. If PA ever needs AC in winter, we are in trouble.

Have you checked the roots on them?

 

[Deleted member 49943]

They were all up potted into half gallons.very well rooted.

Kinda late here, did you get some wire on them? They look like they'll still be flexible enough, ideally you can get some movement as close to the soil line as possible. I'd imagine they will thicken up nicely next year since you are uppotting them.

Also, just my $.02 but since you have so many trees I'd try out a few different styles of pine. Exposed root, shohin, literati, larger style, etc.

Also Also, if you're looking for good info on what to do with pines, I always point people towards the Bonsaify videos on Youtube. Eric Schrader is a member here and his JBP videos are great to help get you a road map.

I did alot of variation in wiring. I also did one in fabric pots 3 in their "Final" pots. I chopped most of them got back budding. Now I'm just growing out until spring to pic new tops.

I'll get some updated pics of what's doing what. Jbp are so easy to bend. Very forgiving.
