I suppose it was a bit mis leading, I actually meant to say that while on holiday twice in a 2 year period a friend watered and fed it with 35-20-15 fertiliser, it loved every bit of it and grew so well for him he was chuffed, when the needles started getting longer I deduced as Sherlock would that things were not quite right, and yes I have read Dans book, but was hoping for a reply from a 110 year old Japanese bonsai master that has a collection of over 1000 trees and 500 are White Pine and the longest needle is a half inch, still I live in hope that he or she may give me that secret. In the meantime any advice is most welcome.
