Pine tree care
Pine bonsai trees can be shaped to anything you like but most are shaped like a
pyramid, with the branches making a clear and defined steps up to the
top of the tree.
All bonsai pine trees should be kept out of any extreme weather
conditions, including rain, sun and centrally heated homes.
If you
have just purchased your bonsai take these precautions.
Place the tree
in a slightly shaded spot and spay lightly every day for the first two
weeks.
After this you can give your bonsai about 4 hours of bright sun a
day if the area is free of high winds.
Do not feed a pine bonsai trees immediately, the tree may have been repotted
recently and the roots need to settle down. If it is the winter or
fairly cold outside do not bring the outdoor bonsai tree into a
centrally heated home, keep in on the porch or out under a covered deck.
The extra warmth in a home will prematurely start it's growing season
too early.
Needle reduction (trimming)
To reduce pine needles on established bonsai pine trees you can start to withhold
water when the buds develop. This produces smaller needles. When the
buds of your pine bonsai trees have set and the needles open you can
resume watering the way you would normally take care of your bonsai
trees. Do not do this with new or young trees.
Pruning older trees
Every three years prune back the two year old needles on young

trees and three year old needles on mature trees at the back of each bud
cluster. Do not trim near new buds. Cut above the small sheath to
encourage new growth on older branches. You want to leave two or three
buds at each tip on a healthy pine tree.
