Care tips for Radiata pines

Post by scarferr »

I am new to pinus radiata bonsai but love the trees. I picked 1 up from a nursery today and am wondering what time of year is best to do heavy pruning? And what time to re-pot? Thanks

WInter is the best time for heavy pruning.
The worst time for a repot is before or after heavy pruning.
