Second flush of growth on a white pine was created by Drakes

Hello! This spring i bought a pinus parviflora Negishi. White pines should produce only one flush of growth, but mine is sending out candles right now. Maybe is the loooong italian growing season responsible for that?

Possibly....
Can we trade please? I want a looooong growing season!
Not complaining though, since it's september but we seem to be in the middle of summer...

Anyway, my white pines do not produce a second flush. We don't have a long summer (normally).
So... I can't tell you either what to do with the new flush. I'd probably let them grow, not to weaken the tree. But that's guessing.
Also, I can'tsee the tree...

I would trade for sure. No brainer. We still have problems with water and i'm not even from south Italy. Hope that now you can see the tree. Pretty healthy

I've not ben in Italy for far too long. Maybe next year :)
You want to trade... hard to imagine. Trade one of the most beautiful languages, good food, the best coffee for a country with rude people with a not so pretty language, very long, dark, wet winters and where the biggest culinary invention is a kroket (deep fried regout covered in breadcrumbs)?

.

Yep. A bit small, but seems to have a very nice color, looks very healthy, and dense foliage.

since i'm still not able to quote part of a message i have to reply normally. Auk don't get me wrong, i would trade just the summer, too hot, too long, too dry. I'll obviously keep the food :lol: speaking of bonsai i think i will let him grow freely and start removing some branches in winter to avoid the death of the inner buds. Right choice?

No problem.

If it concerns timing: Yes, should be fine. Do leave a stub. Beginning of spring is possible too. There are some good guidelines on our favorite website:
