I've collected a hundred or so seed off a Pinus tabuliformis- Chinese Red Pine, aka Manchurian Red Pine.
There doesn't appear to be a great deal of information regarding this species, would anyone here have any advice they'd like to share on their cultivation as bonsai?
Cheers

Re: Pinus tabuliformis- Chinese Red Pine
Very easy to grow but long needles. I gave up on them after 10 years or so. I had trouble reducing the needle length. But I probably treated them too well.Dendrophile Dave wrote: ↑June 21st, 2023, 6:33 pm I've collected a hundred or so seed off a Pinus tabuliformis- Chinese Red Pine, aka Manchurian Red Pine.

Re: Pinus tabuliformis- Chinese Red Pine
Cheers treeman, perhaps i'll grow larger sized bonsai to offset the needle length issue you've described
