What I found on my JBP as long as you leave the needles on the old wood you can cut back to them and they will bud back but if you pluck all the needles from the old wood your chances are next to none of getting it to bud back . I have been growing mine JBP from seed for the past 10 years .
Over 33 yrs. in Bonsai. Great job! Working on some Super JBP cuttings. Grown using the Brexit hydroponic propagation ideology and given CO2 at night. At 11 weeks I put them in Bonsai pots and wire them. These are amazing and will stay under the radar until the 2024 Florida Bonsai Convention. I will have about 30 for sale then and just blow peoples minds with these. These cutting have 1000 times the sugar content of normal JBP's and needles are almost black. Some even excrete a crystal like substance. Some have at least 10 branches at 10 weeks old.
I started a Japanese black pine from seed in 2020. 2 years later I have 3 sproutlings. I am so proud as I have never successfully grown anything this long. However after 2 years they are only about 4 inches tall and don't seem to have stop growing. They are just continuing to live.
Found it extremely informative...growing pine bonsai can be a bit complicated... In india , pine is rarely used as bonsai... I have a doubt which I hope u would clarify... I'm growing a pine since 5-6 years and while developing bonsai we first aim at growing a fat trunk..so, if I keep cutting candles every years, won't the trunk thickness get reduced...?? Or, should we apply these techniques only after the desirable trunk thickness has been achieved....???? Thanks in advance
Hi!I learn a lot from video , I wanna start my bonsai particularly Japanese black pine seeds , could you tell where I could buy seeds? I did buy on line like Amazon , and eBay but it’s all fake , my told me Dallas bonsai used to sell seeds from Japan but the store closed, could you help me where I could buy , I’m from Southern California Thank you
Don't apologise for a long video, 40 mins isn't long anyway. Especially when full of good info. An attention span of 40 mins is nothing to ask. Thanks for the time and effort you put into it.
This was an excellent video! As a beginner I really admire Japanese pines trees but they do scare me off! I'm going to take this amazing knowledge from your video and invest in some small JBP. Thank you Ben.
you prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would love any help you can give me!
@Langston Zachariah I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hey Ben, great video! I am from Germany and currently starting a project. I want a Black pine as a Tree next to an architecture. Problem is: local tree nurserys only sell bonsai cultivars of black pines. These cultivars are limited in hight to about 150-300cm. Goal is to have a n actual tree of about 15-30meteres. Do you have any experience of how bonsai or a special cultivar of black pines (banshoho, sayonara, kotobaki) can be used to become a tree if not treated as bonsai? Edit: I am thinking about finding someone in Japan or Korea to send me some seeeds, which are found in the forest.
A relation bought me a Bonsai tree grow kit, when I looked on a few videos how to get them started I thought ‘What’ lol, It looked so hard I put everything back in the box and threw it on the side. Today I thought I’d have another look and I found you thank goodness. You have explained and shown everything in such detail I can now understand and am looking forward to starting. Thank you Ben
Thanks heaps, Ben. This is very educational. I liked the fact that you took the effort to do a full 4 season cycle video. I learned a lot. My first black pine was a disaster (and I am scared for my current one) so I actually took notes! Thank you also for the added feature of development of your pond. Good stuff, mate.
Thank you Ben. I'm more interested in creating niwaki Japanese black pines rather than bonsai, but because the principles and aesthetic are the same, I learnt a lot from your video that I can apply to the development of my niwaki Japanese black pines.
Hi Ben, watching again this vídeo 2 years later (I think), reviewing concepts. Could you make a video showing those pines actualy? Thanks in advance. Greetings from Costa Rica. Pura vida!
one of the best video and explaination on JBP anyone has ever done on TH-cam or even in paid premium courses Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I always wanted to make bonsai of JBP, Now I have enough confidence in myself that I can do it
Solid information! Thank you for sharing the timing of what/how you do for jpb’s. This is especially helpful because I’m just south of you, down in Tacoma. Go PSBA!! Take care and HAPPY BONSAI
You need to grow some lotus plants in your pond. That'll take care of your algae problem. Also!!! pulverized pond algae make great bonsai fertilizer!!!
This video was soo helpfull . I dont have a black pine yet they are too hard to find online but i did find some japanese white pine. They are pretty expensive online but one day i hope to get a jwp. Does this same technique apply to a jwp? Great video this was soo worth it and doesnt matter how long . It takes alot of research and u summed it up well! Thanks
Thanks Ben ! I started training a black pine i had since fey years in the yards the kind « what can i do with such a horrid one « And made a Bujing .. i made a report until today mid sept 2020 .. u confirmed we made same steps and had same results .. so i was right ! Regards Theo Geneva Switzerland
It’s a great time video no rush it was awesome You just did say something the I discovered by accident on the cut back on old wood the it’s forbidden o definitely no one tells you if they know 😩 thank you
Great video. Really informative. I need more pines in my collection!! I was scared of Pines initially but videos like this are brilliant about showing the way to go. They are wonderful trees. Many thanks
hello what happens when you pinch the candle in half with unopened needles below do you get new shoots from were you pinched sorry i am just a novice but learning cheers
Am I understanding what you're doing here is trying to teach this tree that it is living in a very harsh environment and that it needs to "hunker down" and reserve it's energy to become stronger to resist this harsh environment, rather than to get all leggy and weak?
Do you have any guidance on seedlings ? Mine keep dying. I have them inside because of the heat but they keep dying inside. They came up from seeds a few weeks ago.
Seedlings can handle the heat. Maybe not so much in AZ but as soon as its sprouted you can transition them to shade outdoors then gradually work to full sun. Dont transplant them until after a yr. The roots are weak. Keeping them inside is not good for them.
Hi There, I'm still going through the video and the only let down I can see is that you have mentioned the month but not the time of year as in Sring, Summer etc. I want to post this in Australia on FB, could you please let me know the country you are in?????
Is your helix black pine in a Christmas tree water reservoir?? I use them all the time because they're big but kinda the right shape for training roots.
yes that certainly happens, the fat knuckles form when the base of the branch collars begin to swell into each other. so it's better to choose the finer branches as the apex
thank you for the video it is very well done and clear to understand. I have approx 150 pines seedling between 1-4 years old that i started from seeds and always love to learn more about Bonsai...KAIZEN! Continuous improvement....always learning!
Great video. Would love an update on the 2 main Pines here Ben. Even if just a static picture. Although fully anticipate you may well have a 'conversion to Bonsai' video in the pipelinee.
I recently got to purchase a JBP, im currently residing in the Philippines. From your jbp care timeline, we only have two seasons here wet and dry. Im wondering how do i map them here?
Great video and it's not too long at all. I will apply the work schedule and check the results. Do you shorten the candles from the second flush and when? Regards from Poland.
Thanks Ben, fantastic video. Just some feedback from my end. Instead of following a timeline on months, I think it's better to do it by seasons. Easier to understand for people living at the bottom half of the planet like in Australia. Cheers mate
Hi Ben, Good and informative video you have. I have been looking for jbp stocks like that but no luck because I am in Colorado. Can you point me to a nursery that has them and takes online orders? Thanks a lot.
Hello from Perth Western Australia , first I'd just like to say I love ur work and love even more the way you pass ur knowledge on, it's awesome and muchly appreciated. I have a question about jbp here in Perth or the lack of them and then when I finally get one they are really sensitive and will die if watering is done an hour late. My question is are there equivalent pines around perth obviously not native that offer some similarities as the jbp? We have massive pine plantations used for the building industry usually monetary pines. I think possibly there are two other species commonly used in plantations around Perth and also an allepo pine I have a sapling from. Is there any point in pursuing bonsai from these sources? Thank you
Very informative video. I live in Indonesia and have my first jbp that's about 2 years old. I have no idea on the seasons for jbp here. Any suggestions for Asia?
Most useful approach to cover a one full year cycle. The dates & times, sequencing, and techniques became very clear. After watching so many others, my question was always related to the 'whens'. Great job.
Can you keep making videos like this it was so helpful to me I have a few white pines a few red pines and like 8 black pines I didn’t know I could cut the candle li,e that
Ben great video. I have a few JBP that I would love to apply your fall fertilizer . Can you state the ratios of the ingredients and can you also put a link in the description to the fertilizer holders you are using. I would highly appreciate it. keep the high quality videos coming.
Depends, if you live in a long season area, I'd pinch the candles to length on the 2nd flush if you live in a short season area let it grow and just do candle selection. I've pinched 2nd flush candles and have had mixed results. Some times they may die

I love your videos. Thanks so much for putting the time in making them!
Legend. This is a great easy to follow video on JBP. Im from Australia. Just have to adjust to our seasons. Thanks heaps for doing this.
What would be the NPK for fertilizing during Spring for a development pine that can be planned to be decandled?
This video was soo helpfull . I dont have a black pine yet they are too hard to find online but i did find some japanese white pine. They are pretty expensive online but one day i hope to get a jwp. Does this same technique apply to a jwp? Great video this was soo worth it and doesnt matter how long . It takes alot of research and u summed it up well! Thanks
Very good lesson many thanks 🙏🏼 from Birmingham 🇬🇧
Very intersting video. Thank you for charing your knowledge.
Thank you for this great, very detailed tutorial. Great to see the whole development with the step by step instructions and summary. ❤️
Awesome video man very informative and very helpful!
How much of each fertilizer in the little pots in the fall. Bonemeal do you do it every week and how much.
Thanks Ben ! I started training a black pine i had since fey years in the yards the kind « what can i do with such a horrid one « And made a Bujing .. i made a report until today mid sept 2020 .. u confirmed we made same steps and had same results .. so i was right ! Regards Theo Geneva Switzerland
It’s a great time video no rush it was awesome
You just did say something the I discovered by accident on the cut back on old wood the it’s forbidden o definitely no one tells you if they know 😩
thank you
Japanese bonsai style I like too. Thanks for sharing.❤
Great video. Really informative. I need more pines in my collection!! I was scared of Pines initially but videos like this are brilliant about showing the way to go. They are wonderful trees. Many thanks
Hope your neighbor fit and well,because he’s a gonner if he falls ill when your filming.
Great video! Love all the detail and progress you included!!
hello what happens when you pinch the candle in half with unopened needles below do you get new shoots from were you pinched sorry i am just a novice but learning cheers
How old were these when you started them? Do you know a good place to get black pines @ 2-4 yr old or so ?
When you decant the Japanese black pine do you need to use cupcakes to cover the wound or do you leave it as is
Am I understanding what you're doing here is trying to teach this tree that it is living in a very harsh environment and that it needs to "hunker down" and reserve it's energy to become stronger to resist this harsh environment, rather than to get all leggy and weak?
Hi mate, what soil mix do you use for black pines in development
Nice video, however the music became quite annoying.
What is it a candle or a brush. When does the nomenclature change and why?
why you guys dont like his videos after watching?
I loved the experiment with the old wood cutback. No one talks about it and now it gives me more options. Thank you!
Thanks for a great video. Where do you recommend finding JBP in Washington similar in size to your trees?
Bonsai NW they might not have much left in the future
Thanks Ben. Looks like a phone call and possible road trip from Richland is in order.
Can you recommend any good reading material?
hi, could you elaborate on the different effects of candle pinching vs. decandling? thanks
Pinching controls length and energy. Decandling in the spring causes a second flush
@@BenBSeattle thank you
great video, I learned TONS!
Chi mình hỏi giá thể chồng thông bao gồm những gì .cảm ơn nhiều
muy bueno este video. gracias
Best viveo I have seen on JBPs. Thanks a lot.

Usa so we have the opposite month to season
why no nitrogen inside the fertilizer ?
Is your helix black pine in a Christmas tree water reservoir?? I use them all the time because they're big but kinda the right shape for training roots.
its mum low round garden pot, great for bonsai
Did your JBP experience any bands on the needles? Or graying pf the needles?
No
Do you not get a whorl at the apex when you leave a bunch of branches growing from the same spot? Love your videos!
yes that certainly happens, the fat knuckles form when the base of the branch collars begin to swell into each other. so it's better to choose the finer branches as the apex
Hi Can I grow japanese black pine in Thailand also will seeds sprout
Thanks Dennis sells
maybe, but you maybe too humid and may have fungal issues.

Hi is it normal for the bark to go black and flaky on this species ?
it generally should stay a reddish brown unless its a fungal problem. Which can arise in more humid environments
Could these thrive in the arizona climate? Given shade and care etc
yes with shade and proper watering they should do fine. Black pine do love the sun
Thanks Ben, fantastic video. Just some feedback from my end. Instead of following a timeline on months, I think it's better to do it by seasons. Easier to understand for people living at the bottom half of the planet like in Australia. Cheers mate
Yes very true, you have to flip the months opposite if you're in the southern hemisphere. I'll keep that in mind for future videos
@@BenBSeattle thanks Ben. One of the best videos I’ve seen for JBP. I’m a new subscriber. Keep up the good job💪🏼

Wow, this is an impressive video on black pines. Even better than some online courses I've seen! Thank you putting this together. Amazing!!
Liked It!
I think all of your Japanese black pines are really good looking pines if you don't like one let me know I'll be More than glad to have it
sir exellent vid.. How much should Epsom salt be used? many thanx .
Big fan of your assistant, lil Luke, next video maybe featured pls
So after i choosed the buds from the 2nd flush. Do I have to shorten them at the Same time to the length i want?
Thank you very much

Greetings from Hamburg/ Germany
Thank you so much for this video Ben ! I own 3 young little Japanese Blackpine and your video is gonna help me very much .
Really appreciate the knowledge. Have just been staring at my pines not daring to work on them. No problem now after your very efficient video.
Great Video, when you repoting ? regards
next March possibly but I'm not in a rush until it needs it but the next repot will go into a proper bonsai pot.
This video is such a great resource! Thanks for taking the time to film and compile all this information, really great stuff!
I had no idea you had a channel. Was watching Bonsai Worx and this popped up. Glad I found it👍
Super teaching with helpful "written" short summaries. A distillation of essentials.
very good video. so informative and the updates with a variety of media are awesome. well done Ben
