Having recently purchased Leong's (Bonsai South) Book of Pines in the Temporate climate. He along with others I have read recommend using a low Nitrogen fertilizer for Pines.
He recommends a product called Compact which from what I can tell is not sold locally. Can anyone recommend a product in particular? I've been pumping the Powerfeed/Seasol on all my Pines all season - (fortnightly). Maybe all good for grow stock but thinking of following his recommendations - particularly for a couple of well developed older tree's. Any thoughts contrary to the above also appreciated...cheers.

Hi There
If you give Leong a call at Bonsai South, he may be able to ship it to you.

Re: Pine low Nitrogen Fertilizer
Go to Bunning and open your eyes and look at the NPK levels on the fertilers packs. Low Nitrogen is usually n:6 and under. Rose starter and tomato starters
