Japanese black pine bonsai work in autumn/fall on bonsai that are in refinement stage is all about bud selection and needle plucking to balance the energy. This technique is used in conjunction with summer decandling work that must be done before you can do this. At the cut zone there should have formed multiple buds which now you must reduce back to only two pairs. Also needle plucking to balance out the energy in the tree is also done now.
