[IBC] pinus strobus back budding!!
Oh, the advantages of living in an area with more than two months of a
growing season! My big Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus) that is in it's third year of training is doing well in backbudding. At several sites where I pruned back or at least pinched candles in the spring I'm now getting some more delicate candles. Should I pinch those too, or just let them grow? They are much more delicate than the ones that first came in the spring. I'm also getting more backbudding on newer branches. Buds have been popping out in the last few days. This is great, with it being only the beginning of July. I'll post pics when I can on the gallery. Things are rather hectic right now. I spent most of the day helping my wife pack up as she prepares to move back to Massachusetts. Busy time, rather stressful. Good thing I have my trees and some special bonsai friends to help me through!
