Hi,
Found that Scot White Pine as a £2 (!!!) clearance bargain at the back of the back of a garden centre. I immediately decided to take it home and try to shape it as a Literati. I slip-potted it in a slightly bigger pot and with the help of raffia bandages, 5mm copper wire, a few ropes and the strength of my teenager son, it agreed to move into a more interesting shape. A few weeks later and all seems good: the needles are very green, candles everywhere as well as plenty of tiny growth in places where there weren't any before.
I have looked a few videos on line and decided to decandle the parts that had grown enough for the final image I imagine and left the other where the tree is weaker to get more growth.
Feed with Green Dream Nitro+ Organic High Nitrogen Fertilizer.
I hope that I am doing this right... As I am new to Pines, I would welcome any advice.
i hope that you're all good by the way - it has been a while that I have not posted
Ben
