Hi all


2008 i bought this Scots pine.

Scots pine - 8 years to change the position 002_1010
The tree has good movement in the trunk and could be a good Bunjin.
The health of the tree was not realy good. He stood in a bad soil and had not much needles. At the time I did not think that it takes so long until  the tree is in the correct position in the pot.

One year later. Step by step i removed parts of the bad soil without repoting the tree. He startet to grow well.

2010 it was time to repot the tree and to bring him in a upright position.
But it was not possible. He had only one long root and at the end of this root are all the fine roots. I drilled a wire around the long root near the stem to force growing new roots. It is the same technik as airlayering on the stem.
BUT ATTENTION dont try to airlayer a European Scots pine on the stem. I tryed it 4 times without a result. But on the roots you can airlayer also a Scots pine.

2010: It was not possible to plant him upright in a Bunjin-position.

You all know that a pine needs two or three years after repoting until the tree is so strong to repot again. In the meantime i worked on the foliage.

2013 the airlayering at the root was succesful. So i could repot him in a smaller pot.

At the same time i used a iron to bring him in the right position. Looks better :-)

2014 - one year later.

2015 i repoted the tree in a smaller pot. Now it was time to work on the movement of the stem. This curve is to strong.

I streched it with a wooden stick.

Now 2016 the movement is ok.

European Scots pine 100 cm high. Pot: Josef Maierhofer.

The result after 8 years working and waiting, but there are some more years of working until this tree looks like i want him in my vision. Need again a smaller and not so high pot.

Hope you enjoyed.

This is a wonderful tree! Quite old and a difficult life in the wild. And the bark...Oy!

Thank you all for your comments.
@Geo: All the techniques you can learn at a workshop with a good bonsaimaster. It is not necessary to write a book :-) But thank you.
