⭐️ J Black Pine (Cedar Rose), #2527
Purchased from Cedar Rose Bonsai Nursery in Placerville. Ground grown and harvested in early November. Sick and twisted trunk with lots of opportunity and very healthy.
Feb 21, 2026 Repot
#7 Training pot.
Many possible fronts, good tree with lots of potential.
In the pond basket, the bottom had root aphids. Said to be of a cooler purple hue (I could not see); whereas Mycorrhizae is beige.
Adam shared Mycorrhizae soil to break up and place against the roots to stimulate more Mycorrhizae. So during repotting if found, then save it for the next repotting.
Was aggressive in root pruning, which Adam tends to practice. We’ll see how well it recovers, but does not recommend two major stresses on a tree in one year, so we may not decandle in summer.
