wired up one of the flats of 1 1/2yr olds. cleaned off nasty top soil and saw at least one nice circular root base. using #14 and #16 copper.

can we make this bud the new leader?
ill have to try a graft where that branch broke
back buds popping out where ill be able to bifurcate branches close to the trunk.

repot time for the 2 year old seedling cuttings. first one i picked up is looking good.

all these toots were pointing straight down, but it looked like i could make a nice circular root base instead of an exposed root style. trunk is so small i didn't want to screw it down on something, so i came up with this low pain, high impact solution:

Hi! This thread is amazing - I feel like you could singlehandedly be responsible for the future of the Japanese black pine species survival. I have three little one year old seedlings that I am planning to repot this year - what time of year would you recommend? I see conflicting advice online

I've had success with spring repotting. i wait till i notice the candles are starting to grow longer. usually the needles have already changed back from dormant purplish to green. nighttime temps are usually around mid 40°f. i try to catch them right before all the root tips are pushing white. waiting till after your area's last freeze doesn't hurt, either.
the post #131 was the last one of mine to get repotted.

Fantastic progress, I love seeing updates to this thread.
Q: where do you source your colanders? I’ve got 10-15 jbp in 4” pots I need to do something with.

So cool. A little sad I am not closer to you.
I would love to do a pine-development from seed video, but I do not have masses of pines growing from seed to show all these steps.
