{Withdrawn}[PeterH] Pinus strobus minuta

[Rory]

Could the mods withdraw this entry. It has become deciduous. Not a good sign on a pine.

Regards,

Peter

Moved now.
Do you know why it carked it?

[Neli]

He he he! At least tell Us what happened and what You think you did wrong so we dont do it. Two of my pines from Japan became deciduous too and I think they were over watered...so I know what you mean for a pine to become deciduous. But my pines died as heroes... all the needles are there just all of them dry.

I would say the repot. Should of waited for a seasons growth . It may not have had enough time in the nursery pot before I re-potted, or I took too much of the root ball off.

Again, I think to much to soon.

It is a pity. It was a tree with lots of potential. This often happens in competitions. I lost already 30% of my entries. I was in Japan for too long and they were not looked after well.

[PeterH]

Neli,

It is a shame. I should know better. I took up Bonsai to teach myself some patients , but your right in saying competitions tend to push the boundaries. I am surprised my other 3 have survived.(so far)

Regards,

Peter

Good luck Peter, with the rest of your entries. At least (hopefully ) we have all learned something from our failures and mistakes, and that is good.
