This past August, 2013, I acquired a Nishiki Pine (am unsure of specific variety) from the Midwest Bonsai Show. It was styled with wire and needle plucked prior to my acquisition. It looked healthy, and had light yellowy green needles.
I live in Wisconsin, Zone 5b. The tree was wintered a week or two before Thanksgiving in a house attachment with no wind, but good air circulation, and indirect light. The temperatures in the wintering attachment are 10 degrees F higher than outside, so a normal temperature range would be between 10-45 degrees F.
I am concerned about the health of the tree. The tree looks as pictured below (using two types of lighting to show how it might look). I do not know enough about the Nishiki variety to know what to expect. To me, the needles look a light grey-yellow-green, but my other normal Japanese Black Pines are not doing anything like this. What do you think?
