Dormancy plant(Goyomatsu) in tropical country(SG). was created by leon27

Posted 7 years 3 months ago #35655
I manage to get a Japanese white pine (goyomatshu graft on black pine) in SIngapore (tropical country).
I am using plant light but last time i was in Japan. One of the nursery shop owner said japanese white pine cannot survive in tropical country.
Because it need dormancy.
Tropical country does not have winter, cant it just survive without dormant?? Is there any successful case for other people who live in tropical country who have dormant plant that able to survive?

If a Japanese nursery shop says so, I'm going to believe it. Japanese White Pines are not the easiest - that's why they are grafted onto the stronger black pine.
However, the tree will not be able to follow its natural cycle. That's in general not very good for the tree's health. A bigger problem seems to me that it will be very hard to determine when to do what. Needle reduction, candle pinching is done at the right time during the tree's cycle. Doing this at the wrong time will be bad for the tree as well.

I wouldn't try it, personally.

You seem to be suggesting that you are trying to keep it inside, absolutely impossible.

"I am using plant light"... ah yes, overlooked that.
