I have a scotts pine, pinus sylvestrus with white sap stains on the trunk. The bark is delicate and I am not keen to try scraping the sap away.
Does anyone have any techniques or tips for sap removal?
regards Gerard

I dont know much about scot pines.But what i know about them is there is less/ no sap when cut large branches in their dormancy.

Try to wash it with hospital's alcohol products. These are 100% alcohol and will evaporate before running down to the soil. You could use a rag (dipped in the alcohol and clean the sap)
Always we hope someone else has the answer.
Bonsai is an art of shrinking.
