Back buds are popping out all along the branches. No fungus or disease so far. It's in a poly house to keep it warmer and dryer. So far so good. There's something about pines, you know? |

Hey Brian,
Awesome job, I can see exactly where you are going with this.. and I like it!! Looks like you are using aluminum wire, may I suggest copper, or are my eyes messing with me? I am glad you like this tree and in 5 years it will be a stunning tree... Hey Bruce, Patience young grasshopper!!!  We'll send ya another one sooner than later.....It's great to see the progress and discussion on ponderosa's...maybe I will get around to posting my 3 new ones from this last week.... Jason |

Hi Brian,
This is looking real good. I was scratching my head for ages trying to find the tree in the wood in the other pictures. Gotta love raffia. I can even bend Japanese maples without them going "snap".... well almost lol. Keep us posted on this one. All the best, Aaron

Bruce - Excellent! Glad to hear it is thriving. Your environment is most unique, and if you can get it to work, all the more power to you. Something about pines? Yes, and I am still learning and loving it.
JG - Didn't some cantankerous old timer once lecture you about posing newly collected material - before you know it will live  Well, ok, these will live. And they are quite nice. Make sure you post all 4 new pines - the lodgepole and the styled pondy as well as the two new and unique collected pondys. They'll make Bruce's mouth water! Hey, post my new one too - I don't have a pic and need something to remind me... (Sorry Bruce...)

Sorry...
To everyone- Would there be any interest in an Internet-based discussiion group on Ponderosas? This would allow everyone to discuss the from collection-to-finished bonsai transformation of collected material...

Yes Jason, that's aluminium wire, supported by some turnbuckles and guy wires. My wiring skills still suck, so the aluminium wire tends to be a lot easier on the tree, if you get my drift....As I get better at handling it, I'll transition to copper I'm sure. Thanks for the encouragement. BB
