After researching Pine-Bonsai from both books and the internet i decided to not wait longer for this pine to grow before initial pruning. I have taken of 3/4 of all the brances and also thinned out the canopy to distribute new energy to the lower branches. The needles are still way to long to show off, so the main issue here will be backbudding to new branches and getting more dence branches. I also need some new wire, something in between the two thicknesses I have for now. The wire used may be too tight so i will watch this closely the next months. Since I have a limitid space for my trees it will also get a more decent pot this spring for it to grow in.
