No, I’m starting to think you don’t have a “real” job though...So, anybody else think I have too many Japanese black pine??
Ha!! This is the "slow" time of year, typically... fewer annual visits for vaccinations vs the spring. Luckily, it coincides with JBP fall work time. I keep my tweezers and my shears in my lab coat pocket and head out to the back in between appointments or when there's a lull, or during lunch break. Fwiw, my trees would look like crap... or look crappier then they do... if I couldn't work on them here.No, I’m starting to think you don’t have a “real” job though...
My trees look like crap this year.
definitely not. there is still hope that the numbers can continue to grow!
So where is “here”...maybe I can run a few overgrown JBP over to you in case you run out of your own to work on.Ha!!

Guess you could start trading trees. Buy sticks. Work them for a year. Sell bonsai.income
It can be hit or miss, but time of year does matter and the fall tends to be a bit slow but will pick up toward the holidays. Often times, I'll have a few open appointment slots throughout the day, or a cancellation that pops up, while on other days, I'll show up at 8 am and not sit down until I get into my car to drive home after 6 pm... those are usually the days when I bring in to trees to work on!Guess you could start trading trees.

Sounds like you have plenty of lull hours!

Dave knows better than to cut needles.Did you cut the needles in select areas on the last JBP pictured?
And while I'mma asking, I'm feelin' the short branching, and feel that too many people new to JBP start pulling needles FAR too early.
