Black Pine cutting
I have a Nishiki Pine grown from a cutting. I have had it a couple of years
in a large pot and I plan in placing it in an even larger pot this spring. I would like to do some root arrangment as well. I have read that pine cuttings can be kind of weak. It's growth has been very good over the last couple of years. I was wondering if anyone knows if these cutting pines are more sensitive to root work than a regular pine? Which can be pretty sensitive anyway. Thanks Kevin Zone 6 |

I was wondering if anyone knows if these cutting pines are more sensitive to root work than a regular pine? Which can be pretty sensitive anyway. I have a litttle Japanese book I boughz 25 years ago author Kyuzo Murata and in the chapter about Black pines at the the very end mentions just that Nishiki Matsu should be grown as a Black pine and* start with a grafted tree or a cutting * about transplnnting ( Black pine ) it states * at first the tree should be transplanted every 3 years, but after the initial period,transplanting should be done every 4-5 years , The proper times when new buds come out. as for tehs oil should be red clay and cosrse sand and mixed in the proportion of 7-3 respectively.. It is just one page in English in case you wish to have it I can scan and forward let me know either here or at my private address I had a Nishiki in the very beginning and it was a 10 " tall one.. but did not survive , very slow growth , i remember that I repotted so probably I did not do it in the right period and way and my knowledge about pines by then was very poor too Pines are very fuzzy.. actually I love mid -May as repotting time and rainy weather periods plus I look at the ascending moon.. it seems it works Theo Thanks Kevin Zone 6 -- EU Zone 7 GE (CH) S.O.S.Bonsai online @ : or ICQ 25 666 169 4 my bonsais:http://groups.msn.com/BonsaiItalia/ibonsaiditheo.msnw Membro di : Internet Bonsai Society.
