This film features the late summer repotting of a big yamadori Pinus sylvestris or Scots Pine bonsai collected in the French Alps.
An important tree in my collection, I move the tree into its first bonsai pot in such a way that I can ensure there is minimal risk to the health of the tree at what is the best time to repot pines.
The video features a few tips with regards soil and amendments used to encourage a healthy soil and tree.

Hi Harry great video again, I collected a Scot’s pine back in July, it was either me taking it or it was going on the council compost heap so took a chance with it and seemed fine up until a couple of weeks ago as it’s now gone a pale green grey the needles that is so I’m guessing transplant shock? Root system collected with it wasn’t great, was gonna try adding some mycorrhiza, maybe some root hormone powder? Any thoughts before I do the wrong thing would be great lol….. it’s in kaizen bonsai no 2 mix good drainage

Great video, as well as your works. Your remark about autumn repoting made me think about whether it is good time to repot all trees (coniferous and deciduous) or repotting deciduous trees is better made in early spring before the buds swells? Is it also good time for collecting coniferous trees such as pines, spruces or larch trees from nature (or maybe decidual as well, i.e. oak, hornbeam, hawthorn, etc.)?

Interesting note about the charcoal. Bringing back a classic that seems to have not been popular of late... But I might try it if you're seeing good results. We seem to have similar climates.

That is a really beautiful tree! It has been a real privilege to see it in this video and once more the amount of knowledge imparted is second to none. I love the information about the activated charcoal and how you list all of its benefits. I had never heard of this before, but I will never forget it now. What I like most about this video is that it reminded me of how you wrote your chapters in Bonsai Inspirations 2. For anyone that hasn't seen the book, it is absolutely outstanding and is an essential purchase for anyone wanting to move their bonsai skills to higher levels. Thank you very much, Harry!

I wish I'd had this good advice years ago when I lost a really nice Beauvronensis Scots Pine through spring repotting and also also bare rooting. I still regret the loss of that tree.

@christymartin6281

I'm very happy to see you adding charcoal to your soil mix. I recently decided to add some charcoal left over from my orchid potting mix, and was thinking "biochar" is good, right? This was added for two small pines that were potted into pond baskets.

Harry when do you prune roots?

Great video! Suppose that you'd pulled the tree out of its container and discovered that there was a large root extending down to the bottom of the container. Do you cut off a large root like that all at once? Do you di it in stages? How does one know how much can be cut?
