These are the start of several hundred trainers the i will put through their paces during the next few months These few are finished at 175mm in height. The other collected trees  range from 100mm to 1200mm  all of which were collected from now destroyed test plots .There is how ever several thousand wildlings that could be collected .Its a race against time as the weed spraying crews have moved in on the noxious weeds and began to destroy them . During the next few months i intend to collect as many as possible along with pre-training the many plants i have .

I whipped these few up in less than 1 hour , the roots have penetrated the bottom of the pots so they will be slip potted into larger pots and allowed to grow on .Next season the will be re-potted into Bonsai pots and then presented for sale .I will keep the unusual , unique individual trees for my private collection and pass the rest on .I believe these are definateley  “the superior Black Pine” , they have vigourous growth , back bud extremely well and needle reduction is possible in a very short time .Looking forward to turning out some unusual trees .Cheers Alpineart
