Other than a few moments where the audio level changes, this was a great vid, very informative. What I liked best is how you gave reasons for your branch selections rather than just working away at the tree willy-nilly. This really helps other bonsai enthusiasts make their own decisions when approaching similar pines.
Hi there I just got a Japanese black pine some of the needles are light yellow so I have repotted with pine bark and river sand some peat I hope that will helps it
Back budding happens when I cut back hard, so these should pop like crazy as the roots have so much energy to push but a lot of the foliage has been removed so should push new buds everywhere.
nice video Dave. Love the corky bark. see you in Footscray.🌲🌲🌲
Thank you.
Pine envy. Those are some beauties Dave. Nice basic tutorial. Thanks, keep growing

Cuttings cuttings cuttings!!!
Nice trees. How old were the trees in this video? 10, 12 or 15 years?
@@jeffreyhutchings561 close to 10
Do they back bud as well after removing the old needles. My Radiata seems to bb better where the needles are left?

Nice video. So what season would be most appropriate for this work on JBP?
Doing this work where you make decisions can be done mid summer to winter. Don’t do this in spring when the tree is vigorously growing.
How long did they grow “wild” before this taming?
For this round of growth it was 3 years. Before that they were much smaller and had to fatten up so was another 3-5 years growth before cutting back.
Is it the best time of year to prune any kind of pine ?
When it comes to stock then yes it can be done now. I would avoid pruning branches off established and refined trees.
👌👍🙂
hi! How old are these pine trees?
Close to 10years.
Are these grown from seed or are they usually grafted ?
Grafted onto standard black pine but must be done low so you can’t see the graft.
I thought so, I never see these in SE QLD, would love to get one into my collection
Do you ever post ?
Only smaller trees these are too large to post at a reasonable cost.
Are you selling one of these?
I’ll have all ten of them on sale at the Bonsai Northwest Melbourne exhibition on 20-21 April 2024.
How much are these?
Send me an email bonsaiworx@gmail.com
Did you grow these from seed? ❤
These are grafted from a very young age onto standard black pine stock.
@@Bonsaiworx well I’m bummed I can’t grab one of these. I’ll have to find one over here in California
