In my 25 years of dong bonsai, I have seen almost as many methods for controling needle length on black pines. The current one we are using in California is to cut back all new growth during the month of July, leaving only 5 bunches of needles to bud int
o candles. I was wondering about the timing. I used to do this in mid to late August.

Others? Michael?
