A late freeze, snow, dried out, what reason for death?

Not sure, I guess just not enough winter protection. I had those and jbp pots burried in the yard and some got ate by squirrels others just didn't wake up and once spring hit the needles went from purple to brown. Only 2 jbp survived

Some of them have about 35 cm in height at this time. Most of them already have their own curved trunks 
. I really like that ! Way to go !

Did you mean 35 cm? They sure don't look almost 14 inches tall. Also, they look pretty weak.

These are about 7 months old
Their growing behavior is different with black pine !
They will be transplanted into the 4” pot individually this winter with the initial training step.

These are almost 10 months old. They have been growing fast. Some trees are about 40cm in height! It looks like it grows continuously, without stops as JBP.
some trees have different color!
It has been raining quite a bit in my area lately. One drop is remaining on one tree!
I will transplant them to separated 4” pot in this winter and will start training them soon !

How many needles do these have per set?
Also their temperature range?

At this time, there are 3 kinds of.needle bundles: one needle, two needle and three needle bundles. It is similar to the young seedlings of black pine. I think we have to wait until it turns into 3-4 years old, then we will definitely know how many needles in one bundle .
In my area, temperature ranging from 32 -110 degrees of Fahrenheit !

Thanks for the information?
I enjoy reading and seeing your Huangshan updates, mine are about the same age and size as yours currently, but I’m curious to see how that changes with time, I have a very long winter dormancy so it will be interesting to see growth differences between our climates?
Thanks for the updates, I’ll update as soon as I pull them out of winter storage, most likely sometime towards the end of March?

I also have a tray of them, maybe 20-25, I started this year Mine also are about 10 months old. Of all the conifer seeds I planted this year, these have done the best.
Awesome!, Hopefully you can share some pictures of yours sometime? Can’t wait to see these trees progress.

They are in a covered hoop row now and I won't see them until March. We can compare notes in the spring.
