Definitely, though they won't need as much Nitrogen this time of the year in your zone.

I really try to avoid soil and fertilizer advice ...but in the fall, I switch to a 1-8-7 I found on eBay, if I can still find it. Or I will go to this, 2-8-4:

Hi Brian,
Thank you for the quick link.
The seller told me the big one is a "Taihei" and the smaller one is a "Gansekisho".
I found the following link about Taihei
http://nebaribonsai.wordpress.com/2012/10/05/styling-a-corkbark-black-pine/
Can't find anything on the Gansekisho.

Wow, what an amazing site! Great bonsai, great photos, great writing...that guy is outstanding! ;-)
Taihei has fantastic bark, just takes FOREVER for it to do anything at all...forget summertime candle-pruning, I'm treating mine like a white pine. I suspect Dave DeWire propagated yours as well.
Here is the information I have on the Gan-seki-sho:
Keep us posted on their development, that Taihei can become a great bonsai, hopefully in our lifetimes!

You've got some good material there. Stick with it, and you'll have some fine bonsai.

Oh is that your website? lol oops ya what a great site!!! a great site indeed.
the guy told me the Taihei tree is between 30-40 or 40-50 yr old. and the smaller Gan-Seki-Sho is about 20-30. I'll take some additional photos and ask for ideas....gonna find me some copper wires from my father work place.
