Thanks for the comments Graydon,

I was actually thinking about doing what you suggested (nothing but repotting), so it's good we're on the same page. Well, now that i think about it, that's not 100% true. I was actually going to jin some of the dead branches that were left behind (when the tree almost died), but i am relitively new to jinning/pines, so i have a few questions (not just for Graydon, for anyone). First, when is the best time to do this. I don't think it matters because the branches are dead, but i'm unsure, hence why i'm asking. Also, (i think i know the anser to this but i'll ask anyway) if i leave a dead branch, it will eventually rot right?

I also have a question about a product i read about on a Bonsai retail site called super-thrive. The person selling it claimed that using it after repotting would help reduce the stress on the tree and aid on recovery. Has anyone used this product before? If so, is it worth buying?

Thanks in advance for your comments and time,

Joe
