Austrian black pine Questions

Camay123

Today at the local nursery, I saw Austrian Black pine. One at a nice trunk with movement in the first foot of it.

I look at it, and ask myself these questions wich I had no answer since I dont know this species.

1) How well Austrian black pine react to being trained in bonsai ?

2) How well would it react to a trunk chop ?

2.1) What would be the ideal time for a trunk chop ?

2.2) Would it do back budding ?

2.2.1) Back bud on existing branch only or on trunk also ?

3) Any needles reductions possible with these type of pine ?

4) What else should I know about these pines ?

In hope of someone answering my questions, I post here.

Thanks,
Patrick

Pinus nigra can be treated a lot like Japanese Black Pine. I have found they behave similarly. They are strong, robust trees.

Here are some pictures from the web:
