I too love pines, I do not have any right now as Bonsai though and have not for maybe a decade. I seen your signature that sid you never met a pine species you didnt like. It made me think about the Southern pine, these things are predominant in Florida and Georgia and are not Bonsai material at all, they have needles that are at least six inches long and grow in candles the size of a large fist. lol just thought I would share.
