Very nice Vic,
Thanks for show the procedure. Fred is correct on the name of the Eastern White Pine. Normally they have 4-6 inch needles and internodes of 6-15 inches. For this reason they are considered unsuitable for bonsai. However, Chase Rosade had (sold it last year) an Eastern White Pine that had been in a bonsai pot for at least 50 years (repotted occasionally of course). I didn't recognize the species due to the 1 1/4 inch needles, so it will reduce in bonsai culture. Keep up the good work and please show us Nessie from time to time.
