I bought this little pine from Conifer Kingdom last year. I like to practice on new to me species before investing in better versions. This one is a little better than expected. So many nursery pines have straight trunks with whirls and awful grafts. The pictures aren't great but it does have decent movement in the trunk and a number of branches to choose from. The graft is also better than a lot that I have seen. it is also not root bound. My question, when I repot it into bonsai mix, how much of the nursery soil do I remove? I don't anticipate cutting a lot of roots off but how much is too much and how much is safe? I know what I would do with a deciduous tree but not a pine.
