Hi,

Bought this starter Pine but do not know the exact species.

Any help on identification would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

It is important to know what species it is - there are different types requiring different methods.
What did the shop where you purchased it say it was?

They just stated that it was a pine. But did not state the species. Looks like a red of easten white pine but I am unsure.

Looks like a Japanese white pine or like a Japanese white pine too - which is a very important difference.
Can you ask them?

I'm being silly... the difference would be clear (but the photo isn't, can't see how many needles there are in each bundle)

Can get better photos but have been told it is a Lodgepole pine.
