Repotting and feeding pines, junipers and Spruce in September.
September is still an ideal time for repotting most coniferous species in the uk with cooler nights but plenty of root activity in our trees until late October.
I have been busily repotting the pines in my garden since August 1st given how relatively cool it has been and as ever, I expect no problems from the trees that have been worked.

Don’t forget to feed your coniferous trees hard at this time of year.

In order to ensure shorter needles in my pines, I don’t feed them from candle extension in May/June, but once the new growth has hardened, feeding heavily with a good organic fertiliser ensures strength and vigour in the bonsai, and increases the production of new buds for next year.
