Welcome aboard 5of5
and good onya for showing your plants at the start - no way i would have been brave enough to do that. Enjoy the online family but try to get to a club if you can too, they are a real asset to the (addiction..) hobby of bonsai :D
stew :yes:

Hi fiveoffive,

I like your black pine and white pine.

It is hard to tell from the photos. The black pine seems to be of short-needles variety. Depending on what you like to do with it, the long inter nodes suggest that it needs some attentions.

The white pine, does not seem to be Japanese, it looks like American white pine aka Eastern white pine (pinus strobus)?

Under Pines and Junipers section, there are plenty of info on pines.

Please keep us posted :)

Best regards.
