Just curious, but what makes ammonium sulfate any more or less
"chemical" than any other nutrient/fertilizer you use for your
bonsai?

Hi
I was reading in Naka that Ammonuim sulphate can be given
sparingly to
pines when they have a yellowish tint of teh needles..
my pentaphilla is always as such in this period of the year
what could I do to prevent that and when is teh best time
and
quantitioes to be given or if exists something less *chemical
*
producing the same effect

yes I have since 1987 and is always like this I know that
exist
different varieties of color in Pentaphilla needles , but I
often see
them in review with a stronger deep green color.. so I was
wonderning
how to enhance it and if it was possible an d ask advice before
making
a predicament

If the tree "always" is like this in winter, that probably
means
that's how it is supposed to be. I don't think I'd doctor it
with anything if the tree is otherwise healthy.

it has a lot of sun maybe a little too much pollution has been
repotted 2 years ago followin Michael Persiano advices

Even the pines in my pasture (P. taeda) always look a little
dull in winter. I think that's what passes for dropping
leaves.
;-)
might be
but in the competitions or pictures they look so wildly strong
green
that makes me jalous :-D

I have 3 penta and all look teh same even if are different
varieties
