If they do, they do. If they don't, they'll go dormant, and pick up where they left off next spring.
Scots Pine... what are these and what should I be doing with them?

It doesn't look like a Scots Pine tbh - are you sure it's not a JBP?

Τhat's my exact reaction!
But my thought is for Austrian black pine...

Maybe you're right - the needles look too rigid and without a slight curve in them to be scots. Is Austrian Black pine a multi flush pine?

No.
But they are nice pines for bonsai, nonetheless (check Walter Pall's pix), just not mini/shohin.

If it ain't broke,,,
needles are curved:
These were seedlings obtained by the previous owner from Brent Walston a couple of years ago. I would be surprised if both Brent and my club-mate mis-identified them.
They're still doing well.
Might select buds in October, but will leave buds on sacrifice branches alone (branches that will only be left in place for trunk maturation).

These are definitly not Scots pines (Pinus sylvestris), also probably not Austrian black pine (Pinus nigra Austiraca), probabyl JBP (Pinus thinbergiana).
Well, much to no one's surprise, I'm sure, I am the idiot.
Before I went to buy these trees I told my friend I was keen only on JBP... once there, he said he would not sell any of his JBP stock because they were progressing so well for him... and then we looked at his Scots pines in nursery containers... and then we looked at all his other incredible mature and refined pines...
at the end of the afternoon, he dragged out these three trees and said OK, here you go.
I left thinking they were Scots. Recall, I'm new to all this....
Not sure if I can change the thread title... but here we are.
Apologies for the confusion! And thanks Marie and Walter for forcing me to investigate more deeply.

JBP, Scots, no matter. My advice is still the same.
At least now you know.
JBP and scots are treated differently so you will be able to adjust what you do.
Next year, you can cut the candles off at the end of June, beginning of July.
Its too late to do it now, so just keep feeding and watching them grow.
