Posts: 450	Litari Pine? i just got a pine, not sure what kind, and am thinking aboit training it in litary, that way i can get a tree witholut having to worry to much about the trunk thickness, being it is only about a half an inch around, and so i striped it all off except the to 4 inches, and wired a small branch up as the new trunk, any suggestions on litari and pines is wanted, it is about a foot tall, by the way __________________ "A Bonsai!

The tree in question has a branch that originates midway up (50 percent) It is for the reader to decide if the tree is too tall, and if the rule is a guideline or a law. If it were mine, I would be inclined to reduce the foliage density before I played with the height. Regards, Matt __________________ Want to be a seller on bonsaiAUCTIONS?
