hi,

I need help with identification of a pine.I bought this plant 3 years ago,the person was unable to tell me what species it was.
I was more interested in deciduous trees at the time and didn't know what to do with it.
I want to start working on it in the springtime.I looked a lot on the web but i am not sure what specie it is.
It has 2 leafs in a bundle i first thought it was a Pinus Sylvestris but now i am not so sure.
i post it on a other forum 3 weeks ago,but got mixed response.

If anybody knows what species it is, please let me know.
Thanks.

Looks a bit like Mugo to me. What country are you in? It does help.

THe Netherlands

OK, the other possibility is the Austrian Pine which also had big needles,
Geoff.

I think Mugo also.

The needles and bark look like Mugo. The trunk has nice movement / shape. Could be a very nice bonsai with some training. Good luck.

This is the tree after the first styling,i cut the branches in two phases.
i stil have to remove a lot in the top and i am not sure about the first branch,
but thats for the next growing season.

cheers
