What arrived was nothing like what was advertised. Tree was already pruned, leaving only a few branches and limited styling options.
Nice plant. Well packaged. Arrive safe and sound. Would buy from this supplier again.
The White Pine is a great Bonsai for Canada. It loves the Canadian summers and needs a dormant season which our winters provide.
White Pines do require a little more patience than our other species, due to their slow-growing nature but make up for it when it matures and exposes their full potential. Perfect species for Bonsai and great for beginners as it is a tree native to Canada that is very hardy and can thrive in our weather.
You can follow general watering suggestions for Bonsai trees here.
For best results, prune the roots of this bonsai back about 25% every time you re-pot. Which should be every 2-3 years until the tree is 10, after which every 3-5 years.
