Ok laughter time, J.B.pine

Guys - remember - Laughter Time.
Please I was not offended in anyway.
As you may have noted, I am trying to find the correct time for removal of candles to get smaller needles
in a tropical climate.

So as to not put more strain on an already "old" tree, I have done no real wiring. Just grow and clip.
Better to have a simple tree, than a dead one.

I am a Fine Artist, I am accustomed to opinions on my work, paintings are much more precious to
me, and if I can handle ---- oh that looks yucky, ---------- well?,

Yes, Kevin, I saw the original comment, a while ago, but I am busy painting and, if it were someone from Bnut,
I would say just leave it alone, that group is very opinionated. Which can be good or bad.
Fading away Kevin.

easy to forget what should always be remembered !

quite the lively topic you have going here, khai...

Yay. Im kinda new to bonsai but thats a great tree imo. And Im a tropical guy, normaly pines dont do it for me. I like how short it looks!

Thanks Eric and Kevin and Lance,and anyone else I forgot [ hi Alexandria ]

Just to correct a misconception, J.B.pine is a zone 7 to 10 tree, grows down at the seaside and is salt tolerant.

Additionally, this tree grows well down here, as well as the other 40 something+ other J.B.pines I have from mostly seed
and some cuttings.

They like the 5 mm builder's gravel mix plus 1/3 to 1/5 compost by volume and porous pots, be it clay or cement.
Additionally due to chap on AusBonsai, I have no dependence on outside seed anymore, just cuttings.
Even if only 5 take a year, well, I will overload in say 10 years.

Due to our climate, sun most likely, J.B.pines, will backbud at a steady rate.

I am also producing pine compost to see if that makes a big difference.

When the exact time to candle is found, I will be moving onto wiring.
Be patient with me please.
Down here we are finding so many new types, and it takes 3 to 5 years to do the tests.

Just found a brilliant purple flowering, could be a vine, but these could be shrubs.
Small leaves, some branching, and very woody trunks.
Off to experiment again and again.

Looks like "Weeds" are after you, my friend!



P.S.: After some time I have come to understand a few things you have told me in the past...
