This was a plant I got with the group mentioned in this thread viewtopic.php?f=131&t=12452&start=15#p131422
I have read they are difficult Bonsai subjects. Has anyone had success? Or is it just going to make a nice garden subject?
As you can see the graft is evident and there is reverse taper with the base skinnier than the trunk!
I'm wondering about surface layering. Can I try to induce roots at the site of the graft where there is already some flare from the graft?

Re: Pinus strobus Merrimack
Mine died. Probably cut back too hard due to not knowing much back then. Being a cold climate pine I don't think it would have had much chance at my place anyway.
Drendrophile Dave, it would be helpful if you put a location in your profile. Even a general one. Advice is so dependant on where you are.... northern/southerm hemisphere.... tropical/sub tropical.... frosts/no frosts..... snow... etc...

Re: Pinus strobus Merrimack
I see, yes there doesn't seem to be much bonsai use coming up on the interwebs, shame it's a nice looking pine
