addition, the lymphatic ow of the wood does not have su cient pressure to apply the use of a drip- feed. In greenhouses with high humidity, the tree can keep the stomata open for a few hours. e use of chemicals is rapidly evolving and the possibility of new products can be an important component.
Conclusion
When our plant has taken root, we proceed with perfect cultivation, starting the process of making the plant strong and vigorous over the course of at least 2 to 3 years before performing the rst processing step. Monthly fertilization is recommended from March to October in temperate climates, from February to November in Mediterranean climates and every month in tropical climates.
e rst processing steps, as is shown in our three examples of pines, are very coarse, performed above all, to create the framework for the branch structure. e branches are spread out like a fan to expose them to the sun. Clearly, the branches are all wired at this time but the volume of foliage will be much larger at this rst step than in the nal composition. Over time you will compact everything. Normally a beautiful material requires twenty years to reach an excellent quality to be presented at an exhibition, but for those who have a capacity for very good cultivation, excellent results can be achieved faster.
