If you are unfamiliar, or have no previous experience, with the species I am offering here, do some research before making a purchase. Please contact a bonsai club or nursery in your local area and find out if the tree will do well in your environment.

This pine snapped off during a storm over a year ago. The broken top imbedded itself in the ground where it continues to stand.
