pine care guidelines combines with candle removal on July 4th (easy date to remember for me) and superfeeding this year, I should be able to get a second flush of candles in late summer since I also live in zone 7. I will post pics to the gallery this w

Randi:
I am pleased to see that you shared your experience with the group.
As previously stated, Superfeeding needs to used on a case-by-case basis. When the specimen requires substantial growth to achieve design objectives, it is clearly a way to accelerate the process. Once the objectives are achieved, it is equally importan
t that the feeding process be cut back to retain the desired design.
An artist requires paint on the palette to create the image. Superfeeding achieves this goal. I am currently Superfeeding an 800-1,000 Douglas Fir before cranking its ancient branches into new positions. I will be documenting this in a series of BT art
icles (for those of you and others in the global readership who have the interest).
Cordially,
Michael Persiano
