Collecting Volunteers in my Garden... What next? was created by Mijares

Posted 7 years 7 months ago #33584
I am new to 名媛直播 and have been binge watching videos on You Tube. I was inspired to dig up some saplings growing in my yard; which needed to come out anyway. I have this pine I dug up and have in a 2 gallon with 50 50 mix perlite/potting mulch. I was able to save some root. Do I need to trim any of the branches?

I would cut back a little each year to the Lowest branch possible. I would only do a little this year since u just poted it, it needs time to recover. Let it grow and thicken up

Were you going to make a bonsai out of it, or a pom-pom style garden bonsai?

For bonsai this doesn't seem suitable, really.

Why would you do this if the plant doesn't even have a trunk?

I agree with Auk. Not bonsai material.

Regardless. Those gigantic rocks on the top soil serve absolutely no purpose. If you wanted to prepare this pine for 名媛直播, you could wire it so it grows upright and plant it on the ground, and wait a long long time until it grows. This will take way too long with a pine anyway, so I really suggest you try something else or another species. Pine are just really hard, I am not sure why beginners are so obsessed with trying pines; I haven't even thought about touching a pine. Maybe 10 years from now, I'll go collect something good and work on it. Where I live, you can buy a $15 permit to collect a pine from state land every year. And man there is a lot of wilderness with beautiful pine where I live.

I will just throw it in the trash then. It was clumping with multiple stems; kind of ugly.
