The best thing you can do to improve the cutting of your scissors is just to keep them clean, if the blades can’t come together due to a build up of sap, they will never cut cleanly no matter how much you sharpen. The creanmate product is brilliant for this. Thanks for another great vid
Thank you for showing us how to tame such a thick vigorous growth habit. I have one but it's nowhere near as healthy as yours then again it's a nursery stock that I found in the discount area
You forgot to wire the needles after you finished pruning them... Speaking of wiring needles, how's the Pinus Artificialus doing? I assume it's dormant for the winter and that's why we havent seen an update. 😜
The way the climate is warming up these past years, you're going to be able to grow tropicals year round in your outdoor greenhouse soon... Amazing to see no snow in the middle of winter over there!
I hear from a Japanese channel that if you leave the very base of the needle by cutting them close to the bud they end up becoming more new buds next flush or next growing season.. almost looks like a Japanese black pine.. so beautiful amazing job
Austrian Black Pines can be cultivated exactly like JBP. They are 2 needle pines. And if you search for ABP bonsai in Europe you will likely find pictures of Yamadori that look strikingly similar to Traditional JBP. The needles can reduce especially well. But few people develope there ABP from young trees like Nigel.
Pine looks very nice!
Thinning is done wonderfully,looking great now, n the entire trunk up to the top is visible now!!!!!
Lovely pine Nigel!
Quite a transformation just with a thinning
Looking right and tight!
What a great tree, it was super dense! Nice work thinning it out Nigel, THANKS!
That’s great! I’m going to de-needle my Austrian Pine now! 😊
Oh boy, lots of work but seems very relaxing and satisfying thing to do! That tree looks great!
Thanks Marysol!!
This is a great video because your explanation of light and the growing tips makes such good sense. Thanks
The bushy Australian thinning out the bushy Austrian! 🤣😂🐦💙
I think Monday will be hair thinning day for me!!
O joy! ✌️
Very Noice!
This tree is looking really good. I like the shape of the tree. I love the formal upright style, so this tree fits fairly well with this.
Very informative video. Excellent!
Love seeing your videos where you work on evergreens. I grow primarily tropicals. Thanks for sharing.
Another great tutorial Nigel. Quite a transformation. Mission accomplished. Thanks, keep growing

Let there be light

Assuming a trunk chop is the first order of business for my Austrian Black when do you think the best time to do that in the PNW is?
Nigel,Please tell me what fertiliser you using on pines.I am in Canada to
The thinned Austrian pine is looking light and airy. I wonder how tall the sacrifice leaders will get before you prune them off!
Thanks Xin, I think they will be on the tree for many years!!
👍👌
