I picked up 3 of these today to play around with. I know they probably won't work as Bonsai but it could be fun, besides for $3 a pieces couldn't really pass them up

And at a hell of a deal too! Lol can't wait to watch the progress even though I haven't seen them hahathese dont seem to have it. my plans for them they wont have inverse taper anyway.

I've read people have them as christmas trees and bring them in for the worst of winter then take them back out in spring, that may be a possibility for overwintering if it gets too cold.You will tomorrow. I just couldnt get good pics of them in the dark. The only issue i see having is they dont like cold from what ive read, but i will figure something out. And like my jack pine there is not much info on them as far as the time of year to do things to them.

Rick, the single needle is the juvenile growth needles. Don't even consider doing any work until they produce mature two needle growth.Another thing I noticed is this is a 1 needle pine at least I'm only counting 1 needle.

I agree with @garywood that's juvenile foliage, the only true 1 needle pine is a native where I am it's the single needle pinionAnother thing I noticed is this is a 1 needle pine at least I'm only counting 1 needle. My indoor system has some pretty bright light with lots of humidity, so I might try that until the move..I really don't like the idea of a outside tree being inside though.

Ernie Kuo did a short article on one in Bonsai Today #59. Not much out there on them.
I'd be inclined to treat them more like spruce than pine.
