Huangshan pine from seed

[BonsaiNaga13]

I started some huangshan pine this past spring along with jpb and jeep. Squirrels and other critters ate all my jrp and all but 7 huangshan pines out of around 25. Heres the progression of the survivors.
The first sprout







Right now they're buried in the ground with my other plants, I'll post an update after the snow and hopefully again in spring

Burying in ground may result in being eaten by Voles/ other critters. What is Latin name for this tree? What is jeep?

What is jeep?

Clearly a typo for jrp = p. densiflora, IMHO.

I just planted about 40 huangshan pine seeds on Monday. I have had poor luck sowing seeds directly into the earth but if they sprout in spring, I hope you'll let me into club-huang

If I get 50% germination straight out of the pack, Ill be happy. I'm hoping the warm weather we have here will the kicker. And if you planted Huangshan pines, then you're in the club!
