Sorry, Pedro, none of the Chamaecyparis backbud. The only way of keeping a
dense head of foliage is to pinch prune them mercilessly. Lisa " wrote in message ... Greetings...

keeping a dense head of foliage is to pinch prune them mercilessly. I get quite good backbudding on C pisifera and C p boulevard when I open up the trunk to sunlight by removing unwanted branches, pinching and feeding heavily.

speaking of C.p. boulevard, how do you keep the interior branches from
browning out? Once I prune out the interiors, the rest of them carry through well enough for the season; but I wish I could prevent the browning process.

It seems to be largely a matter of adequate light. The shaded parts
continually die away on landscape specimens and this habit is carried through into bonsai. The answer lies largely in developing thin pads of foliage that are continually pinched to prevent them creating any depth that will shade the lower parts. It is one of those species that once let go it is very difficult to bring them back without a dramatic restyling and/or a total redesign. Hope this helps Kev Bailey speaking of C.p. boulevard, how do you keep the interior branches from browning out?

Kevin, I get backbudding on semi-hardwood, but never on old wood, and it's
not for want of light. Even those that have been put back into the ground refuse absolutely to show any sign of life on old wood, even after 2 years of t.l.c. in a climate that the Hinoki likes.
