Speeches and articles
The Annual General Meeting of Royal Dutch Shell plc
Jorma Ollila, Chairman and Peter Voser, Chief Executive Officer
Speech delivered by Jorma Ollila at the Annual General Meeting on 18 May 2010
Jorma Ollila
Ladies and gentlemen:
Good morning to you here in The Hague, and good morning to you watching me on the video screens in London.
Firstly, please take a moment to read the disclaimer.
Macroeconomic Environment
Let me start by saying that recent events in the Gulf of Mexico have put our industry into the spotlight, with the tragic loss of life and pollution from the Deepwater Horizon incident.
You may have questions about that today, and I think we at Shell, and I think all the oil companies want to understand what went wrong there, and to make sure that we take any steps to reduce these risks in the future.
The year 2009 was characterised by weak demand for oil and gas – the result of the global recession triggered by the financial crisis in the USA and Europe. By the start of the year, oil and gas prices had dropped to levels not seen since 2004. The oil price did climb back over the year, although the average price was still considerably lower than in 2008. Natural gas prices also fell, picking up a little only towards the end of the year. Refining margins declined sharply not only because of weaker demand for oil products but also because of worldwide industrial overcapacity.
Chief Executive Officer Peter Voser will talk to you in more detail on performance and strategy in a moment.
...but let me say that overall, these were tough times for your Company. And I have to thank Shell people for the way they dealt with them in 2009.
Our earnings fell by 69% from 2008 to 2009, but we were encouraged to see that in the first quarter of 2010 earnings were 49% higher than they were in the same quarter last year.
The global economy seems to be recovering in 2010. But the recovery is expected to be slow, and market conditions are likely to remain volatile.
We are navigating your Company through some turbulent times, to set it firmly on course to growth – in terms of both production and cash flow.
Now let me make some comments on the oil and gas landscape, where there have been some substantial swings in prices in the last year.
Looking at the short term: the International Energy Agency expects 1.6 million barrels per day of oil demand growth in 2010, after a decline in 2009.
This is an improvement in the outlook after a weak 2009. But we are not relying on a recovery.
OPEC spare capacity is around 6 million barrels per day today, and OPEC will likely be managing against the downside of oil prices again this year.
Looking into the medium term: the oil market picture is positive, with demand growth driven by the development of non-OECD countries, and natural field declines.
By 2020, the world will need about 40 million barrels per day of new oil production on stream, from fields that haven't been developed yet.
To give you some perspective, 40 million barrels per day is equivalent to about 4 times Saudi Arabia, or 10 UK and Norway North Seas.
These are not new observations. But it is a huge challenge for the industry, and an opportunity for Shell.
You can have a big debate about oil prices. For Shell, it is about long term trends, and we expect oil price averages typically in the $50-$90 per barrel range…of course with short-term peaks and troughs.
Demand erosion comes in at the top end, and replacement cost supports the bottom end.
We screen all Shell's oil projects, including things like exploration and oil sands inside this range.
Now, on refining.
This is an industry that normally moves in 5- to 7-year cycles.
We saw about 2 million barrels per day of new refining capacity in the market in 2009, at a time when demand was under pressure. The result is the weakest refining environment for over 20 years.
It remains to be seen how quickly industry refining margins will recover. Demand is still under pressure. And we continue to reduce Shell's refining portfolio.
Turning to natural gas.
Short-term, we see pressure on natural gas margins from weak demand globally from the recession, and a 20% increase in worldwide industry LNG capacity in 2009-10.
Nevertheless, we believe that the medium-term outlook for natural gas does remain positive and this is a strong growth theme for Shell.
From a customer perspective, which is mostly the electricity-generating public utility companies, gas has a scale and cost advantage over other types of fuel, with low CO2 emissions as well.
For these reasons, we will continue to be a significant investor in natural gas. We have activities spanning traditional gas production, liquefied natural gas, and newer technologies like tight gas and gas-to-liquids.
Natural gas has been a strong growth theme for Shell, and we expect that to continue in the coming years.
So those are some comments on the macro. Energy prices and margins under pressure, but the longer-term outlook overall positive.
Now let me say a couple things about some Board-related matters.
Shareholder Resolution
As explained in the Notice of Meeting, we will be voting today on a shareholder resolution calling for a special report on your Company's Canadian oil-sands projects. Although we share some of the concerns that underlie the resolution, your Directors believe that they are already being comprehensively addressed by your Company. Your Company follows a policy of transparent disclosure and published a report in March disclosing relevant information on oil sands.
Given your Company's approach to scrutiny and transparency, this resolution is unnecessary. Your Board unanimously recommends that you vote against it.
Directors' Remuneration
At last year's AGM, some of you may recall, a majority of votes were cast against the approval of the Directors' Remuneration Report. I said then that we would reflect carefully upon the reasons for this.
We consulted major shareholders and shareholder bodies in 2009. The general feedback was that our overall remuneration policy was satisfactory, but some of its elements had to be modified to align them better with shareholder interest and Shell's long-term strategy. It also became apparent that the Remuneration Committee – or REMCO – should consult with shareholders if it intends to exercise its prerogative to use upwards discretion.
Under the new chairmanship of Hans Wijers, REMCO took on those comments and took on external specialist input. And the Committee has come up with changes, which are explained in detail in the 2009 Annual Report.
Hans, who is here with us today, can answer any questions related to directors' remuneration at this AGM.
We have also revisited your Company's policy regarding payouts to shareholders. Until this year, our policy had been to grow the dividend at least in line with inflation. We now aim to grow the dividend in line with the financial performance of your Company. In addition, subject to your support and regulatory approvals, we intend to give investors the option of receiving their dividends in the form of new shares rather than cash.
These changes will enhance Shell's financial flexibility and allow the dividend payout to be more closely linked to Shell's profitability.
Nomination & Succession of Directors
Finally, I have some changes to report in the composition of your Company's Board.
After nine years of service as Non-executive Directors, Sir Peter Job and Lawrence Ricciardi are both standing down from the Board. I thank them for their contributions during those years.
The Board has nominated Charles Holliday to be elected a Non-executive Director, with effect from the September 1st, 2010. Chad, as he prefers to be called, was CEO and chairman of the board of DuPont, and I am looking forward to having him on the Board.
Let me now give the floor to your Company's Chief Executive Officer: Peter Voser.
Speech delivered by Peter Voser at the Annual General Meeting on 18 May 2010
Peter Voser
Ladies and gentlemen
I am very pleased to be here today at my first AGM as the Chief Executive Officer of Shell. I'd also like to welcome Simon Henry, who is our Chief Financial Officer, and he joins us here for the first time in his new role.
Financial performance and strategy
Let me start with the operating and safety performance in the company.
Over the last 5 years we have almost halved our recordable injury rate per million hours worked, we have more than halved our injury rate leading to time off work, and we have halved our rate of fatalities per hundred million hours worked. This has been achieved through relentless focus on key areas including process safety, road safety, and contractor safety.
However, we cannot ever afford to be complacent. Every day is a new day with its own hazards and dangers. Last July we introduced a simple set of 12 Life-Saving Rules to further re-enforce a culture of compliance across all of Shell and our contractors. This touches every day some 500'000 people.
Sustained efforts and leadership will be required in the years ahead to continue the year-on-year improvements in safety performance.
That commitment is also reflected in the way we remunerate people.
Turning to our financial performance in 2009. As you can see, earnings fell sharply in 2009 because of the recession, which resulted in weaker energy margins
As Jorma has mentioned, we are seeing some signs of economic recovery in the first part of 2010, although the indications are still rather mixed We certainly don't rely on any great improvement in the economy in the near term.
As you know, we are operating in a rather long-term industry, with investment times of at least five years and assets that can run for decades.
So we took the decision last year to continue with our ambitious spending programmes through this down-cycle, to create growth for shareholders in the 2011-12 timeframe.
Also last year, we decided to maintain our dividend growth, with a 5% increase in dividends per share, measured in US dollars. No change to dividends is planned for 2010, when we expect to pay out over $10 billion to shareholders.
We look at our strategy as a set of different time layers.
In the near term it is all about raising our game on the performance side…sharper delivery…profitability…competitiveness…
….then delivering on the growth projects that we have launched over the last five years…this is growth to 2014…
…and working on new options for the next wave of investment, that can grow the cash flow after 2014.
Performance Focus
In the first of these three themes, we are looking to improve our competitiveness, with a series of cost initiatives, disposals programmes and focus on operating performance.
Let me give you some examples.
We decided last year to reorganise the company to have a faster implementation of our strategy, and lower costs.
This reorganisation, which we called Transition 2009, is now complete. We created a new Projects and Technology division, and an upstream organisation, divided into two regions – Americas and International.
As a result of this and other initiatives, we will reduce staff levels by 7,000 between 2009 and 2011, and take out at least $3 billion of costs in 2009-10. In 2009 alone, we reduced costs by $2 billion.
Continuous improvement – in terms of safety, operational performance, cost and profitability – are becoming part of the way we work at Shell.
Production growth
The second of our strategic themes is all about growth. This is operational growth and financial growth.
We had three significant new production start-ups in 2009: the LNG plant at Sakhalin in Russia, the deep water BC-10 project in Brazil, and a new chemicals production plant in Singapore.
At BC-10 in Brazil, which came on stream in the middle of last year, we used cutting-edge technologies to deliver power and heat to produce heavy crude, under two kilometres of water. And I am very pleased that this project is now running ahead of its planned capacity, reaching over 80,000 barrels per day earlier this year.
Looking into 2010-11, we plan to bring 13 new projects on stream in upstream and downstream. Two of these projects have already come on line in the first part of 2010 – Perdido, in the deep water of the Gulf of Mexico, and new ethylene capacity in Singapore. Perdido uses many of the technologies that have been so successful at BC-10.
As these projects come on stream, so our reserves performance has improved. We increased our net reserves attributable to shareholders by 2.2 billion barrels last year, with a reserves replacement ratio of 288%.
All of this is part of a plan to increase our oil & gas production by 11% from 2009 to 2012, and to grow our cashflow from operations by some 80% from 2009 levels at a $80 per barrel oil price.
Qatar is an important part of your company now, and you will hear a lot more about this in the future.
We have two very large projects under construction there. Qatargas 4, which is LNG, and Pearl, which is gas to liquids, or GTL, as we call it.
Taking these both together, we will have invested some $21 billion in Qatar, and as these projects come on stream, with ramp-up in 2011, we expect some $4 billion per year of cash flow back to Shell, and a substantial increase in our production.
Pearl GTL is the world's largest gas-to-liquids plant. It will apply Shell technology, tested over many years in Amsterdam and Malaysia, to convert some 1.6 billion cubic feet per day of gas into 260,000 barrels per day of condensates, liquid transport fuel, oil products and petrochemical feedstocks.
Turning to Oil Sands.
Shell, with a 60% stake in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project or AOSP, is a middle ranking player in Oil Sands. AOSP gives around 70-80 thousand barrels per day of production, or around 2% of our total output.
This is expected to increase to around 4%, once the current expansion phase, called AOSP-1, is completed.
We have a good track record here on sustainable development and we are glad to discuss that with you later today.
Once AOSP-1 is complete in 2010-11, we expect to slow down on new investments, do some debottlenecking, and make sure we get all this running in the most efficient way possible.
New options for future growth
So, those are some of the near term growth projects.
The third layer of the strategy is all about generating new options for further growth, beyond 2012.
Let me update you on the progress we have made in 2009.
Firstly on exploration.
We spend some $3 billion per year on exploration activities, and we are all pleased with the 2009 results.
Exploration added 2.4 billion barrels of resources last year, and we are averaging over 1.5 billion barrels per year of additions, compared with about 1.1 billion barrels of production.
The main areas of exploration success were the US Gulf of Mexico, Australia, and North American tight gas.
Now turning to Downstream growth.
Here we are working on selected growth options, but at the same time are taking measures to enhance the Downstream refining and marketing portfolio.
We have a strong brand that is a key asset of our successful marketing and trading operations.
We are taking steps to refocus our downstream investments into profitable markets with growth potential. We will reduce some 15% of our refining capacity and we will exit from 35% of our retail markets.
At the same time we are investing for selective growth in Downstream for example with the construction of new refinery capacity at Port Arthur, which is a large expansion project on the Gulf Coast of the USA.
And in Biofuels, we are negotiating a joint venture in Brazil with Cosan.
Cosan is an industry leader in sustainable Biofuels and will be a good partner for us. By combining our Brazilian downstream portfolios, we will generate synergies and can capitalise on the growth potential in biofuels.
The joint venture will be an important supplier of green electricity in Brazil, with some 600 megawatts of biomass fired capacity currently, with growth potential.
We also plan to put some of our advanced biofuels technology into this joint venture, with future growth potential.
Actually, back in March, we announced that the fuel we supply to Ferrari's team for the 2010 Formula 1 season contains cellulosic ethanol.
This is an advanced biofuel made from straw by our partner Iogen, using non-food wheat straw and advanced conversion processes.
This is the first time an advanced biofuel has been used in Formula 1 racing by Ferrari.
Let me recap the priorities. The priorities for me as CEO and everyone in Shell.
First and foremost we want to make sure we have safety in our operations and for our people.
We want to see a more competitive performance from Shell. We look at profitability, oil and gas production and sustainable development.
Shareholders are investing in Shell for profitable growth. So are we. This is all about cash flow from operations, investment in new projects, and cash returns to shareholders.
And we want to see sharper delivery of our strategy, and a more commercial focus in everything that we do.
We have come a long way in recent years. But there is a lot more to do and I am really energized by that. We are all looking forward to talking to you about our plans today.

Are LPN's being phased out? - page 24
I know people have been saying for years that everyone would need a BSN and LPN's would be a thing of the past, etc. Well, so far, where I work (a large, magnet hospital) there are still many, many... Read More
0Aug 17, '12 by nmgthenurseI have been an LPN for 4 years and i have heard the same rumor. My opinion is that there is a shortage of nurses, i don't think they would phase out anybody. Here in Tampa they started to replaced RN with LPN for budget reason. Lpn are not going anywhere.
0Aug 18, '12 by turnforthenurseRNThe hospital I work at now doesn't hire LPNs anymore. We have a few LPNs working on the med-surg units and a few in the ER, but that's about it. A hospital I used to work at used to have a lot of LPNs but most of them got laid off :/
0Aug 18, '12 by conroenurseSt Lukes in Houston med. center tried that abt 10yrs ago, it's back to RN/LVN equal portions.


text: EXACTLY the same happened to me. Attempted delivery/biz was closed. My "biz" is 160-feet from my office. They never, ever, attempted delivery. Driver lied, then told me they "had to put down something" before returning to their distribution center. I'd already raised a ruckus via the FedEx website because I needed the product. After talking to that driver, I contacted all my vendors and advised them I'd no longer accept FedEx shipments. Everything's been smooth since.

I have ANdersen windows in my home. The house was built in 89/90. THe windows are are painted white interior and clad outside. Can I just replace the sashes? I want the interior wood so I can stain it. I don't like the painted white trim. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Marvin's "tilt-pac" is a sash replacement kit that meets the requirements you mention. The only thing I don't like about it is that the vinyl jamb-liners are so visible. Weathershield makes the same thing. I haven't seen those in person yet, but they look nice online. |
When Andersen came out with their tilt window, they were making tilt replacement sash kits to replace older Andersen sashes, just as you describe. I don't know if they still make it. An Andersen dealer (not HD,etc) should be able to help you. |
If you just want a sash replacement, meaning no frame replacement,sash only, then you need an insert (Marvin's name for sash replacement). Go to Marvin.com for a dealer near you and check them out. I don't know what other companies call their products. |
Marvin's sash replacement kit is called the Tilt-pac, not the insert. Go to their website and search for tilt-pac. I believe Weathershield also makes a sash replacement kit. |
Marvin Tilt Pac requires removal of the original frame and are put into a rough opening. The Insert system is a sash replacement into the existing frame. |
Ok, Ok, I was wrong about the frame replacement. Tilt pac offers a double hung sash replacement, Insert is also a sash replacement, but offer the Ultimate Double Hung option. Neither one requires the frame to be removed. |
JELD-WEN makes a SASH replacement window in their Caradco Collection called ZapPack, and they can be purchased at any Home Depot store. Most Home Depot stores have a JELD-WEN window display in their millworks department. These windows can be ordered with different divided lites (e.g. Grills-between the Glass, Removable wood interior, Simulated divided lites, etc.) with traditional or custom grill patterns. They are available in all wood or Clad-Wood in 6 colors and can be ordered in standard and custom sizes. Home Depot also carries Anderson Window products, and have a display as well, but I was told that Anderson did not have a SASH replacment window. www.jeld-wen.com |

SQL Server 2005 Tidbit 034
The following question was asked at a Recent "Best of SQL Server 2005 Launch" TechNet Event in Kansas City (Overland Park Kansas, actually. Had a lovely time there, thank you! …and although it was a bit of a dive, the Karaoke at the Red Balloon was a lot of fun!)
"DDL Triggers… Do you have to delete them to get rid of them? Can you simply disable and later re-enable them?"
Glad you asked, because I didn't know, and now I do. Yes, that would certainly make sense. And indeed, it's as simple as using the Transact SQL (T-SQL) commands DISABLE TRIGGER and ENABLE TRIGGER. Here's some DDL Trigger sample code from the Books Online…
CREATE TRIGGER safety ON DATABASE FOR DROP_TABLE, ALTER_TABLE AS PRINT 'You must disable Trigger "safety" to drop or alter tables!' ROLLBACK;GODISABLE TRIGGER safety ON DATABASE;GOENABLE TRIGGER safety ON DATABASE;GO
The same holds true (though the syntax is different) for DML Triggers as well.
(NOTE: You'll need to have SQL Server 2005 Books Online installed for the TRIGGER links above to work. I highly recommend it! It's FREE!)
Got an IT question? Give me a comment, or contact me.
SQL Server 2005 books start at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms130214(en-US,SQL.90).aspx
Thanks Keithco.

Hi Fred, Using Google, I find a site page I want to save, then save it to my Documents, hard drive. BUT, if the page is removed from Google at a later date, I've lost my "save". Is there a way to "Memorialize" the saved page on my hard drive? Thanks, —Clyde
It appears from your note that you're attempting to save links to the web pages of interest, rather than saving the web pages themselves, which is what you really want. The surest method is to save the pages and photos themselves. From Google, click on the link and open the page. Using Internet Explorer, choose Save As from the File menu. Pick the folder you'd like to save the page into. From the "Save as type" drop-down menu, select "Webpage complete (*.htm, *.html)" and click on the Save button.
Alternately, if you have Outlook Express installed (even if you don't use it) you can select save as type "web archive, single file," which puts all the pieces of the target web page in one neat self-contained file. (See http://langa.com/newsletters/2003/2003-02-24.htm#2 )
Using Firefox, choose Save Page As from the File menu. Pick a location, then choose "Webpage, complete" from the "Save as type" drop-down menu and click on the Save button.

DaVita Inc. (NYSE: DVA), a leading provider of kidney care services that is committed to improving the quality of life for those diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD), was recognized by the Denver Business Journal this week as the healthiest employer in Denver with more than 1,000 employees in the Denver area.
"Any community as a whole is only as healthy as its individual citizens," said Cynthia Baxter, Vice President, Compensation and Benefits for DaVita®. "Keeping our teammates healthy – and our community healthy and productive – is a high priority at DaVita."
DaVita's "Village Vitality" program allows teammates (employees) to earn "Vitality Points" for healthy activities such as quitting smoking. Earning Vitality Points reduces a teammate's share of health coverage premiums. The program also offers the "We are Well" award, which provides free teammate insurance premiums for one year for those who have made significant strides in improving their health. In 2012, more than 40 teammates across the country received "We Are Well" awards.
This is the second year that the Denver Business Journal (DBJ) held the Metro Denver's Healthiest Employer awards, aimed at recognizing employers who put a strong focus on their workers' wellness. Nominees were chosen after a two-part selection process that included a survey that scored each employer.
The DBJ partnered with Healthiest Employers LLC to complete the selection process and included considerations like biometric screenings, obesity coaching or management, health risk assessment and appraisal, and a tobacco-free workplace policy. DaVita is a registered trademark of DaVita Inc. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. About DaVita DaVita Inc., a Fortune 500® company, is a leading provider of kidney care in the United States, delivering dialysis services to patients with chronic kidney failure and end stage renal disease.

The Iconic Striped Shirt
The Striped Shirt
>> The Breton striped shirt dates back to the 1900s, when it was originally worn by French fishermen. Then, in the '50s, icons like Audrey Hepburn, Coco Chanel, and Jean Seberg adopted the nautical print as their own. Fast forward to 2011, and fashion girls everywhere — think Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Jenna Lyons, Mary Kate Steinmiller, and Lauren Santo Domingo — are still sporting renditions of the classic Breton top. While the timeless navy and white pattern will always remain a closet staple, designers continue to make it new with their own unique interpretation of the pattern. Who can forget the frenzy Prada created when it showed chunky, brightly-colored stripes on its Spring runway? Shop our picks to add a little je ne sais quoi to your look right now.

A few days ago I red a very detailed discussion about pruning Pine. It was very late, I don't remember who posted it, but 2-3 different people, some of you guys. I would like to try it. Can you post it again or let me know where can I find it? Maybe it was under a different posting and the subject just came up. Thanks for any help.

Hello! Since this isn't an extremely quick-moving forum, the thread you read is most probably only a little further down from this one. My best guess to the one that you read was the Tamamono: Rounded shrubs *(FAQ) thread. -Audric |
Hi Audric! thanks for your quick response, I had to go back much further but I found it and bumped it. Now I can start to plan how to do it in 3-5 years. Andrea |
Hi Andrea Since you gave me stew recipe and helped me to be good cook, I will help you for pine tree pruneing. you also said you have a Japanese friend.if you want to me send to you copy of pine tree pruing articles, I am happy to send you copys from books. It is written in Japanese. when pine tree is small, pruning of pine tree is similer to bonsai pine tree. but once pine tree is 8 feet and taller. you have to know how to use bamboo stake. know how to make knots. know how to use tripod ladder, and how to set alluminum extention ladder with ropes and logs/bamboo to suport extention ladder. extention ladder is not going to lean to pine tree and have to stand its self. removeing old needles in fall, pinching pine tree candles in spring is not big deal. pruning pine tree required lots of patience.before start pruning you have to know basic of the trade............... yama. |
Hi Mike ! You are very generous with your time and help everybody.I found the postings I was looking for, red it again, lots of good advise from you , edzard and others. I realized, that it is very complicated and needs good skill to prune pines in the Japanese style. Thanks for your offer for the reading material, but my friends live in Japan. I had a Japanese gardener who came twice to my garden to do some pruning, I asked him again, but he is very busy now, will come later. I have one 12-15 feet fir tree I would like to prune, the bottom branches are getting dry. Just now bought 2 Pinus strobus, 3 and 2 years old, I plan to keep them in big planters and will wait for Hiro to prune it. |

Hi, But you get more fun out of prunning. George. |
Here is a link that might be useful: George's Japanese Garden
It really is a case of what you need vs. what you can get. The NW USA offers many opportunities for hands-on pruning and other training. For the rest of us, there are few in the typical neighborhood that have benefit of internship from a Japanese master. For what its worth, here is a simple article on the basics of pine maintenance: http://www.botanysaurus.com/jg/pinecare.html |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pine Care
For anyone close to St. Louis the Missouri Botanical Garden has an excellent class in pine pruning from the expert who is responsible for pruning in their Japanese Garden. Yama; paul |
a few questions Don, What is 'Temple ""style"" pruning', what species is this pruning technique best practised on and in what growing conditions / Zone are these techniques restricted to? thanks, |
thanks for all the good advise and warning, I've read again the postings and my conclusion: I don't have 8-10 years just to learn the pruning. Mike, I belive you, I need a trained gardener to do the job. I respect the beautiful trees more than butcher them with my unexperienced hand. George, when I think about all that "fun" with pruning, standing on an extension ladder 20 feet up, in rain, wind, the pine needles in my face, neck, trying to find the pruner on my belt...........what are you, a masochist? Meanwhile I could create some masterpiece from morell or chanterelle mushroom, goose liver, file mignon, sockeye salmon and asparagus with some good red wine( what of course I sip frequently) I like to try out different hobbies, enjoy learning, will do 'till death,but I know my limitations. ( will never, ever try mountain-climbing) Just very little pruning! Andrea |
edzard, Temple style is the name used by two of my teachers in the Kyoto area. I understood it to refer to a more natural version of the cloud pruning. Would you get what I meant if I said Tokyo's typical cloud pine would be very formal and Kyoto's style would be more natural? If not, I can find photos. Japanese black and Japanese red pines were the pines of choice for the gardens I worked in. It would probably work best for mild cooler climates and on larger trees since, when needling, the foliage is reduced to 12 or 13 pairs per bud. I tried this here (San Antonio) and found it best to leave more foliage. Although the trees were gorgeous, I believe it was too stressful and am now leaving more foliage. Let me know if my description helped! |
Don,.. clarification is always appreciated, especially in articles intended for reference (hint, hint). As would a photo or three. Along with a notation of when, what areas this technique is found or used in. A line or two would do. A few weeks before or after deciding to leave 12/13 pairs per bud would also change the overall strength of the tree for spring development. Timing is near everything. What growth Zone is San Antonio, what drought ratio? chuckle, yes, 'I get' more formal as also comprehending more natural. On the other hand the Tokyo expression is more the abstract, calling for a different technique in shape than does Kyoto. (where the reference is not known by all people, the more formal 'shin' expression carries better than the more 'gyo'. and this is why it intrigues me. Which Kyoto gardeners from what company referred to cloud pruning as "temple' style and if you know, why did they refer to it in that way? (if you know their education lineage this would also be helpful, South Kyoto/North Kyoto, east-west? Specializing in ___? temples?, residences, commercial? institutional?) further clarification is always appreciated... |
edzard, I began answering your questions and the reply was - well - kinda huge. Here is a light version. Can we email? I welcome help with the (hint) reference! Although in public garden horticulture for (nooo!) 28 years, my training and knowledge of Japanese gardening is in infancy and I do not pose as ANY kind of expert! Q1. Which gardeners? I was invited by Kiyoshi Yasui of Yasui Moku of Kyoto. Mr. Yasui was nominated as a national living treasure of Japan. My Sensei, Katsuoki Kawahara refered to "temple style". His company builds and maintains Japanese gardens in Japan and internationally. He comes from something like 17 generations of gardeners. Oh, at 72, he quit smoking! Q2. Timing? MILLIONS of needles plucked during September and October of 2001. Most private, commercial and temple gardens were in northern Kyoto. I can't think of any difference in method or severity during this time. The only (maintenance) difference between black and red pine was brushing the red's flaking bark (dp translation: winter home for bud worms?). The gardens I worked in received major maintenance once in spring and once in fall, so I guess precision timing is not as important as it would be for us who live in less forgiving climates?? I cannot say what the timing was in Kumamoto because I had no hands-on there. Q3. Formal vs natural cloud style? I was not being patronizing (chuckle), I was trying to relate to varying stages of almost poodle-like (sorry!) pines with extremely defined and thick stanzas of foliage compared to the less defined, more delicate, and by my eye, more finely branched cloud style I was trained to. I will look through slides and find examples I can share for comment. I guess you figured out what style I favor? Q4. Zone? Its "zone de jour" for San Antonio. It hasn't stopped raining for 2.5 years! I felt the fool for planting moss, azaleas, camelias, pines and Japanese maples in a time and place where xeriscape was the push. Guess what? These gardens are glowing emerald and xeriscape stuff is rotting. We are supposed to be zone 9/10 and semi-arid. But this is Texas so wait 5 minutes... Hope this helps clarify my well intended submittal. Meanwhile, I will offer my opinion and hope it helps someone along the way. |
Don... thanks for the enlightening response.. makes for much more interesting reading than the brief, do it this way..!... musingly, I suppose I don't rate things or experts much anymore. I've seen some incredible work done by people that have never had pruners in their hands (Jando etal) and some absolutely atrocious and hideous caricatures come from seasoned hands. Perhaps it depends on where one has been... The notes on the backgrounds of the gardeners is perhaps a live lead on a 3 year research project. Thanks. Q2: Timing makes an incredible difference in N. America. Not so much in Japan due to the climate, humidity, soil etc. In turn the timing is noted by a variance in the green/black color of the needles/bark (black pine - red 'dulls' about 1/2 CMK down), rather than noting the change of color - browning of senescence, of 3 year needles in the normal tree. Same difference, just an earlier removal by 10 to 14 days that results in a decrease of about 20% of energy. Q3: I actually chuckled. For a moment an eyebrow crooked upwards and speculated whether you'd done your homework, only to be dismissed. I write pretty much as speak. The difficulty of attempting to describe a nuance in international terms is nigh impossible. ergo, I chuckled. Q4: then if the plant materials are rotting, I would have to surmise that they are not properly xeriscaped.. since Japanese gardening IS xeriscaping. Many of the planting admonishments in the Sakuteiki refer to xeriscaping, taboos being the fast track presumably for not needing to explain the whys to youngin's that don't listen anyway. a last note to all interested in pine pruning in the south, a reminder that the San Diego garden has their pruning sessions happening soon. (--will email, though later, between hungry grizzlies, the eaten neighbors horse, just getting back & am leaving, have just a bit more travel-work to do - not enough time and mental ram space at the moment to hold an intelligent conversation.) |
Hi DonPylant. Thank you for kind respond to Edzard. Often, way Edzard ask or question in very detail, makes other poster up set or steer to wrong direction. I enjoy to read your posting as well as edzard's coment. Edzard timing of pruing: gardeners have to eat and earn too. often even it is not very best time, too early or too late, we stil have to work. It is matter of economy. most customers want to taken care of garden before new years day, but not too early, like eraly september. best day for pruing time are set for the best customers. customer who pay soon after recieved invoice, customer who has good relation and serving many years. small gareden are visited between large garden and also customer pays quickly, Becourse bill is not big amount. Things are alway don't work as the way should be. ;););). yama |
indeed, indeed,... annoying even drunk tanuki is a gift,... don't you think Mike??..! chuckle, true about the 'real' timing that happens and often why. However if people wish to do it themselves then we ought to try to provide the 'best' way that we know at the moment, (and correct ourselves when we learn to do better). At the same time, those that are only caring for their own gardens, presumably can control the calendar of when they will prune. I feel it is not so much the 'which pruning technique' as what condition is the tree in and, what does the tree indicate its result should be x what job it does in the garden. first is still, what condition is the tree in, too strong? too weak? how to tell..? :), true, true,.. personally I'd say things rarely work out the way intended.. |
Hi Mike Don Edzard I enjoyed your postings, ideas, discussion, learned a lot from it.I am not so lucky to have such a talented and expert professional gardener here, who is willing to come and prune 1-2 tree for me. Second, I am not so lucky to have a big, professionaly built and maintained garden. But, how George said, it is fun and to use all the help from you, I will try.My idea was to have a not very symmetrical and tall pine tree.I will try Mike's branch-tying advice too. Andrea |
Andrea,.. what is Hiro's last name? or the company he is with?? I know a few Hiro's I learned a lot from in the Vancouver area. Considering I just returned form there and the Japanese Gardeners Conference was on, yes, they are all busy right now. edzard |

Well, I'm not sure about temple or cloud pruning (or much else), but here's four examples of pruned pines spanning the three commonly dwarfed species here in Kyushu. These are pretty representative of what I see here daily. PF |
Here is a link that might be useful: Japanese Pines
Twenty some years ago I bought 100 Japanese Black Pines in liners. I think they were about $.29 a piece. I rowed them out for a year planting them as straight upright as I could. As you know, they don't grow with a straight trunk. They 'sway' a bit like they have had a few drinks. So the next year I planted them leaning way over. Sort of like giving them a few extra drinks. Two years later I reversed the lean. The trunks were real nice and curved and with a little annual pruning I was able to get some real nice trees to put in customer's yards. The only problem was the customers didn't maintain the pruning, even when I told them how, and consequently they grew out of scale and were a detriment to the landscape instead of an asset. I was an installation landscaper, not a maintenance gardener. Lesson learned. I got the idea after seeing a picture of Bonsais at a wholesale Bonsai nursery in Japan that were placed on 1"X 6" boards that were way lower in front than back. The trays were rotated as necessary to facilitate a basic Bonsai look. A worker would go down the line and rotate and prune as necessary. |
Hi Andrea pruning is like cooking. I get recipe first . get all need material , start coking and make mistake . some time forget someting , cock too long, while cocking, drink too much of wine and burned whole foods. once I made mistake,or wrong way to cock , it is easer to ask you how to do right. once made misstake then I know what I don't know and what to ask. just reading recipe I never able to learn cocking. mistake is is good teacher. Botan : |
