Are you familiar with growing Virg. pine in bonsai? What kind of soil do you use? How well do they handle root reduction? Collection? How often do you fertilize? How heavily? Are they treated like JBP? Are they more or less vigorous than JBP?

I'd prefer experience to speculation, but at the moment, I'm flying by the seat of my pants so I'll take what I can get.

I have one I've been tasked with caring for thats been in a pot for a number of years, but never happily. A recent repot suggests the cause (...lets just say its in good soil now).

I also just collected a dandy (2+" trunk and scads of movement) and would really like to learn everything I can while it acclimates to pot culture in my backyard. ...I prefer to learn from other people's mistakes if at all possible.
