Pinus Thunbergii (5 trunks from seeds)

Here is the result. I saw the first buds a week ago, but i prefered to take pics later , as the buds are bigger (easier to see).

There are mainly 1 or 2 buds. Sometimes none, or 3 or 4, but this is rarer. I do not observe a delay in the appearance of buds when leaving a piece of candle compared to a complete cutting of candle.

The goal is to have two candles of the same vigor on each end of the shoot. But sometimes I only have one or even none, but it's rare that I have none.
