Hi Bonhe !
I had read all your experience with the Pinus Hwanghanensis .
I really love Pinus uncinata, a pine we really like to use to bonsai in France.
My problem is i live in a city and in a low height above the sea (116m), so i had buy huangshan pines seeds.
Can you tell if this tree really suitable to bonsaï ?
Does it backbud good ? accept trim ?
Also i only have experience with Norway Spruce i seek for a specie of pine to care.
About climate, i assume it's pretty close to mine , worth a try?
My feeling is this tree grow too fast and too high !
That's why i was looking for Pinus Uncinata (Pin à crochets in french) but really not sure about my climate.
In France we have wet winter and really dry summer also very hot
Hi NorwaySpruce,
Thanks for asking me. Since I only have about 20 month experience in Huangshan pine growing, I hope I could answer your questions.
1. They say my climate is similar to Mediterranian climate and Huangshan pine has been growing very well in my area. Your climate is almost as same as mine with hot dry summer and wet, cool in winter. So, Huangshan pine should be fine for your area, shouldn't it?
2. It backbuds well so far
3. It responds well with trimming
4. Yes, it is growing fast and tall. I like this characteristics because I love literati style. Huangshan pine is famous for its literati style in natural, isn't it?
5. I think it is very suitable for bonsai!
In summary, you should give it a try.
