A Tale of 32 Japanese Black Pines.

[Grant Bowie]

Update,

32 pines were purchased.
All 32 were old and in poor condition.
All 32 were pruned and then pruned again over the 3 years or so.
All 32 were wired, unwired and wired again.
All 32 are regularly fertilised, candle pruned, needle plucked etc.
All 32 have been root pruned and repotted into bonsai pots; some large and some small.
Some have been repotted twice and moved into smaller and more appropriate size and shape pots. (Mostly Tokoname).
All 32 survived the pruning, repotting and wiring.
1 sold last year.
That leaves 31.
5 or 6 will be for sale at the forthcoming Ausbonsai Market Day in a few weeks time.(More about that elsewhere soon).

I will post photos as anything new or interesting happens.

Cheers,

Grant
