Namnhi's 6 year JBP contest entry

[namnhi]

Thanks to @theone420 for sending me about 50 seeds.

 

[namnhi]

Sow in pond baskets. I got seeds from @theone420, @bwaynef and @sorce. Sorce hooked me up with at least 200 seeds. Thank Guys!
Soil are regular potting mix as well as perlite and vermiculite.

Here is the fruits of my hard labor. Most of them came up.

Here they are today. Not much change since they sprouted.

Aren't you going to make cuttings?

 

[namnhi]

Aren't you going to make cuttings?

No, I don't have time to do that. And I wasn't really looking for a the first branch to that close to the ground. I might regret that but at the moment I don't see the need for that. I like clump, root over rock so I probably will do a few of those with these.

When you get some time, check out Ausbonsa - Shibui,
he has an article one using the new growth for cuttings.
Just in case you get a naturally 1" in needle.
Good Luck
Anthony

Bravo!

 

[theone420]

very nice

 

[namnhi]

These are all I have left. Hope they make it. Last year was bad for my pines. Needle cast or some fungus claim a couple big ones and most of these.

I'm sorry to see that. I hope they recover.

A few weeks ago, planted out the 200 seeds left from the 50
seeds J.B.pine plastic bags from Amazon orders last year.

A good few went into small clay pots.

Hope this encourages you to try again.
Good Day
Anthony

Saw a few have updated their thread. Here are mine. I just put on some wire to get some curves on the trunks. These will be groups.
