Japanese White Pine - Hagoromo #002
Japanese White Pine - Hagoromo #002
Japanese White Pine - Hagoromo is one of the most dwarf forms of Pinus Parvifloras with a globose habit.
The beautiful blue-green needles are quite short and very dense which makes them stand out from the rest of the white pines. Another highlight of this little plant is the numerous cones at a young age. Given that it is a slow growing conifer (grows up to 25 to 30cm in 10 years) it is an easy to grow, easy to care -almost no pruning required, being so dense, just clean the inner old needles in Autumn. Native to Japan and Korea.
The Japanese White Pine - Hagoromo is a truly unique and rare plant for conifer lovers.
Sun Exposure
Pines love full sun. This exposure to the sun allows pines to maximize their capacity to produce tight, dense, compact growth and gives them the strength they need to thrive.
Fertilizing
Pines will produce a lot of needle growth and will elongate quickly when fertilized aggressively during development.
With moderate fertilization, pine bonsai tree will produce a fair amount of growth. Once a month application is sufficient.
Pruning
The best time to structurally style or remove branches from a pine bonsai is in the early Spring, prior to the onset of new growth, or the early Autumn.
For refinement, pine should be pruned right after its first flush hardens. This allows for a much more manageable and controllable push of growth.
Letting the Spring flush growth exist on your pine will encourage more aggressive growth.
