Saw these for sale today at lowes for Xmas, not sure if my wet summers would kill it or not?
Planting it in completely inorganic substrate will help.Saw these for sale today at lowes for Xmas, not sure if my wet summers would kill it or not?
on most of my stuff I don't do that at all because of the hot spring and summers here, and I am concerned about plants drying out too quick in bonsai type dishes. For this I will probably try it.Planting it in completely inorganic substrate will help.
Unfortunately, they barely look in proportion when they’re full sized in the landscape.

They are beautiful trees, you can see them everywhere in Italy. They have a very characteristic flat top habitus when mature. But, as Ian says, their needles are just too long for bonsai when mature. The one you got is very young; the mature foliage won't look at all like that.“Please explain? Most of above trees very attractive/beautiful
.”
I just mean that the needle size is so long that even on a full-sized landscape tree if you’re decently close you can see individual needles and they look shaggy and youthful. Still beautiful, but youthful. This makes it hard to pull off a mature image on a bonsai scale.
