Hola Ash,
Yes the feeling was quite envigorating! Won't get to OZ this year, but will be down to the land of the slightly taller ANZAC statue- New Zealand during the Southern Hemisphere spring (October).

In all seriousness, the use of an internet tutorial on Japanese Black Pine refinement will be quite useful. It should help to get the timing issues pulled together and help folks to establish good windows of opportunity for completing specific tasks. As an example, we will decandle and pull needles between mid-June and mid-july (too many trees to get them all the same week), but friends in Denver Colorado will need to do theirs over the next couple of weeks (Greenhouse trees) so the trees will be hardened off in time for September frosts. Good exercise.

John
