bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - What cuttings do you plan to do?

Mostly pines this year, pinus thunbergii nishiki cultivars. I should be doing 'mi nishiki', 'nishiki nee', 'hachi gen', 'kyokko' and 'akame'. I will try 'tai hei' if if it looks to be vigorous when it's time to cut.

I have to finish building my misting bench with bottom heat and shade cloth before I can start this. With the right equipment and method I hope to have a good batch of pines this year.

If I have space perhaps some pyracantha as I have 2 huge trees on the easement in my yard for larger cuttings and some various satsuki azalea later in the season.
