This is a Ponderosa Pine I picked up from Andy Smith. This first image is how it was shown on his website.

The image was taken in September of 2016.

This second image is soon after I received the tree in April 2017.

I took the tree to a workshop with Bjorn Bjorholm in June 2017.

I started fertilizing heavy with Sumo Cakes fertilizer after the workshop. ( Sumo Bonsai Supply )
You can see the results of that fertilization in the length of needles in the next two images.

I have continued to fertilize with Sumo Cakes through the fall of 2017 and into the spring of 2018.

I will continue to fertilize with Sumo Cakes for the rest of 2018 and 2019 and see where the tree is at. All of the fertilization has created long needles and lots more buds.
The long needles and the amount of them should shorten the next set of needles. In a couple years, I will cut back on the fertilizer to just the fall. That will help to reduce needle length as all.

The pictures have been posted. They were visible, but somehow they disappeared. The question is not about an unsuccesful upload

That’s strange. If they’re too big, the platform don’t let to attach them, but they were there before. Could you repost them in the topic? Without images it’s useless :(
