3rd of November I collected a seedcone of a Pinus armandii while a brief visit to a pinetum.
Despite telling myself I have no room to germinate seeds for 2026, when seeing the seeds drop out I decided to plant them.

Planted 60 of 63 seeds. Planted in a seed tray with reused kaizen #3.
Will leave outside over winter and fingers crossed something will happen in spring.
Due to their needle length I'm unsure if they will be any use for "typical" highly ramified and structured bonsai but I do imagine a tall slender tree with mature bark, some interesting exposed roots and sparse long drooping foliage.
