4 Page 4 NOW IS THE TIME. By Ken Wassum Fall brings many opportunities to set up trees for a healthy next season. What these opportunities are can be ascertained by the type of tree and its stage of development. That said, there is at least a one thing that can be done to all trees, regardless of their species or level of refinement. That one thing is cleaning up the surface of the soil. After a summer of sun, fertilizer and weed maintenance, the soil can become compact, which negatively impacts drainage and aeration. Endless upcoming months of rain, makes both very important for healthy roots, and as every person with bonsai knows, healthy roots make for a healthy tree. To clean up the soil I use bent-nose tweezers. Starting at the base of the tree and gently scraping out to the edge of the pot I remove about ½ of soil. If the pot is a deep one I remove up to about 1. Taking this opportunity to clean up the sides of the pot, I then refill with clean soil mixture, and tamp it gently. You will see improvement immediately when you water. The water will flow into the pot much more quickly, pulling life-giving oxygen in behind it. Leaf drop is the time to remove old needles on pines. Doing so allows light and air to reach the interior parts of the tree. This helps to encourage interior buds, the development of which is an important part of pine bonsai development. To remove old needles on healthy Japanese Black Pines I pull them with a pair of tweezers. I remove all of last year s needles from strong parts of the tree. Where the tree is weak I usually leave old needles. If the whole tree is weak, then I do not remove any needles. Old brown needles on white pines and on other two needle pines can be removed as well, but they should not be pulled. If the needles fall free with a light brush of the tweezers, then great. If they do not, they should be cut close to the base with sharp scissors. Pulling needles on pines other than JBP can result in twig and branch die-back. Once leaves have turned brown and lost their color they can also be gently removed from the branches of deciduous trees. As with pines, doing so allows light into the interior to enhance interior bud development while also removing places for pests to hide and do their worst. Doing these simple tasks will help to set your trees up for winter and they will be ready for spring. Have fun!
