i do not, i normally start from august or so. now being in a smaller pot might also help giving shorter needles.
Bjorn’s Single Flush Pine technique explained!

Thanks. There’s a Jin coming off the trunk that perfectly mimics the foliage. Unbelievable.

All of your stuff is amazing. But that last pic of that literati is stunning....and I'm really not a huge literati guy. You contribute a lot to this forum...two thumbs up for your contributions.
How do you treat your deadwood there in the southeast Adair? I’m guessing that there is ongoing retreatment in that warm muggy climate.

Face it, Sorce is what Nietzsche would call a "Free Spirit".
I saw bjorn's video the other day and it answered a lot of questions i was unsure of. Good video.

I treat the deadwood with lime sulfur about once a year. I don’t like the really bright white “painted” look. I like for it to look “weathered”.
so the way I do it is first wet the tree down well. Then let it dryout for maybe a half hour. The deadwood is still damp, but not dripping wet. Then, I paint the deadwood with a 50/50 solution of lime sulfur and water. It goes in kinda yellow. But it soaks into the wet wood. After a day or two, it looks pretty good. If you paint it onto dry wood, it seems to look more like a coat of paint.
if the deadwood has a lot of algae or mildew, maybe scrub it with a toothbrush and water before applying the lime sulfur. Really bad? Scrub with a 50/50 solution of white wine vinegar and water.

Why prune a single flush pine in the spring?
Late summer early fall is the time to do it if you want the most back budding on single flush pines.
Seems counter productive.

Watch peter Warren's stream it's much better at answering that question than Bjorns stream on that topic plus it's a good watch

This is how you get the maximum back budding.

Yes that's from peter Warren's stream he explains it all
There his pics lol

Nice but for the rest of us that peter video talks about all methods of working on pines at all levels of refinement and stages of development where the Bjorn video is based on a very refined tree dint get me wrong it's about energy distribution but Peter's stream takes it to another level

I have the luxury of knowing Vance personally and get to see him yearly.
I get to help work on his trees.
All knowledge of pines I have is his knowledge.
It all comes from him.

I saw that video pop up Thursday on Bjorns YouTube channel. It cleared up some questions I had quickly and I didn’t have to google any words he used to know what the hell he was saying. Quick and to the point. I like the fact he brought up individual climates too.

Those are going against you and your interpretation of this this "explained" video.
"Seems like", I say, "I don't understand", hence a need for discussion.
Which you dismissed cuz you didn't understand, this is ok.
It's not ok to assume I dismissed the information, how could I talk about it, and try to expand on it, after dismissal?
Ruined your thread lol
At least Raph makes a video.
You , think someone asked you for this information?
Acttiing like the information is yours!lol!
You're head needs a checking!
@JudyB after I was Ignored, I did openly say that. However, it's not a person this is going against, it's an idea.
Anyone can pluck a tree at a time, right?
It's not that anyone can do it better, it that a different "timing" or "schedule" or "methodology" lol, may be needed all together.
This is merely of man and climate, and time.
The climate his instructions came fr, and where they are applied.
This is an argument of climate and actions to better a tree.
It has nothing to do with a man.
Except the whiney girl one that started this thread!
Thanks Bjorn!

Just seeing if you care to explore the possible detriment of bringing up climate?
What if there isn't enough context behind the climate difference?
If we found through trial and error and years of experience this isn't possible up north, would we still do it because Bjorn said? And Adair posted it?
What are you all doing that doesn't allow time for this conversation?
