AusBonsai

Yesterday I got a new tree. Its a non grafted white pine I got from Ant (ausbonsai member). Its a slow grower so its nice to do a longterm progression on Ausbonsai. Ant has taken care of it since 2006 and I have to say he has done a bloody fantastic job as its really nice and healthy. I was also surprised to find alot of ramification on it already.
Pictures dont do justice.

I miss it already but im glad its you that has it !!! It is very well ramified and could make a great shohin in no time !!!

SHOHIN ,is it really that small, what size is the tree? very nice tree, i have a 25 yr old white pine that i bought on this site,the needles on mine are darker and longer than yours,do you know what kind of white pine it is?..... i would love to have a tree like that :

Hi Fex, I think this one is an ungrafted Japanese white pine. Generally the ungrafted ones have alittle bit more yellow in their foliage compared to the grafted ones. Is your pine grafted?

You dont have to think Eddie its definately not grafted, i think its Zuisho in Variety. The new growth will be darker richer greeny blue how ever Zuisho is not as much as others. What it does have is smaller needles.

Yes Fex there is a beautiful shohin in the first and or second branch !!!

There you go FEX, hope the last post helps, that last post is from the previous owner. Ant had the tree since 2006.

Interesting, I didn't realise Zuisho was in Australia

You have to make some cuttings!

Im not 100% Scott however from pictures that is as close as it gets. Paul Sweeney grew a whole lot of them years ago, he might know. Where is Paul these days ???
