Re: Bonsai Myth Busters
Pup, can you please clarify if you mean the myth is you cant make a good bonsai from a Pinus pinea, or were you saying you can?Pup wrote:Australian plants do not make good Bonsai. Cant collect them
Neither do Pinus pinea.
Thanks

Re: Bonsai Myth Busters
I recently collected a radiata pine. It was pulled from the ground by hand (was not expecting too collect on this ride) Threw it in my back pack and rode for another two hours on a warm day. Completely bare rooted and slightly damaged - 8 weeks later it still survives and hasn't lost a needle.Leigh Taafe wrote:A friend of mine bare roots and washes Japanese Black Pines with a hose as he digs them from his growing field - I guess this busts the myth of keeping some of the old soil!

If it were not for my trees, maybe I could see the forest.
