Anyone out there ever try your luck with this cultivar? Seems to be a pretty good thick growing tree with decently small needles for an Eastern White Pine, curious if theres any experience out there with this particular tree!

Sorry for the lack of a good picture, i was nursery hopping a few days ago and just thought to post this on here

I think Pinus Strobus/Eastern White Pine is generally frowned upon for bonsai given the long needles, straight trunks, and single flush issues. It's hard to find many images of quality examples, so why try this species when many many others are readily found and effective growing regimens are well-documented. Having said all that, I just got one of similar size myself at my bonsai club auction that I intend to grow as if it were a JBP. We shall see!
