G'day all...

Late last fall I acquired a collected Chihuahua Pine, Pinus leiophylla v.
chihuahua. It had been in a 15-16" X 43" deep, oval Mica pot for about 3 years.
I repotted it this spring, in a 14-1/2" X 4-1/4" bunjin pot.

It has candles opening, bright, fresh looking, dark green. It also has new
growth from branches and branch tips that is a very light green.

This being my first spring with this tree...it looks a little strange to me.

Does anybody know if this is normal? Or is it a problem?

Sure hate to have anything happen to it...it is estimated at 150 years
old...about 3-1/2" to 4" trunk just above the nebari...about 3-1/2'
tall...natural bunjin.

It is ready to move from partial shade to full sun, but we've had 5 straight
days of temps over 100F...yes, friends, even at 4550'.

I look forward to your comments.

Have a nice day.

Pat...anticipating the monsoon...
