Hi John, thank you so much! To be honest: I have spent the last ~5 years really working on understanding pines.

Thanks for addressing the Scots. I am in Kansas and have been field growing just under 500 for about 4 years from seedlings and they are very healthy. I have done some hard pruning with great luck and will be doing more small ramification the next two years. This video was very helpful for me.

Lovely clear, no frills or gimmicks explanation and demonstration Jelle, exactly what I signed up for, thanku. Unfortunately my yamadori Scots pine died, but I did have expert advice from experienced, trustworthy people, namely you and Magnus from Green Machine Sweden. God bless you 🙏✝️ ✌️🇺🇦🌻✌️

A very good and needed video. I have a fair number of scots pines and many JBP. They are indeed very different. Scot pines can easily become leggy with long branches and little ramification. There are also many different species of Scots pines with grater number of characteristics within the same species. Based on the timing of the video I'm guessing you were doing this in conjunction with approximately the same time japanese black pine would have candle pruning. It would be nice to hear your thoughts on needle pulling as an adjuvant technique for inducing back budding for Scots Pines. Needle pulling seems much more applicable to JBP because they tend to keep the needles much longer. Scots pines also tend to back bud in areas on the tree that is inherently different than JBP. In the USA Scots pines are not nearly as common as bonsai. It may be different on the East Coast were they are grow wild though not native like in Europe. Scots pine seem to have more numbers of candles at node junctions. Any thoughts on how many candles to leave/pull. Some Scots pines will form seven or more candles leading to large unsightly nodes if not managed. I think European growers have much better insight to these trees. There is not enough information about Scots pine bonsai development available IMO. Thank you!!! Mats

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing knowledge. You give such a strong rational vibe I'd bet you did programming at some time in life, and even if not that you'd be great at it

I have a mugo pine I picked up for $22 that had roots wrapped around the truck and it’s only 2” tall before it branches out. There’s a main apex with a purplish cone on it. I pruned it to get rid of whirls, and cut the tips out. Only 2 branches didn’t handle the pruning and my observation is (if you kill a branch on mugo it will brown and die quickly. Everything seems okay with the tree, but the trunk is probably 3” in diameter and super short! My question is: if your Scot’s pine backbuds, will a mugo backbud similarly? I read they do not and to leave needles where you want branches and they won’t backbud? Thanks
