Dave,
Thanks for the info. I kinda knew it would not be healthy for them. I had purchased a couple of pines from a bonsai site, they are very small but have been pruned to appear as if they are older. By removing the needles between the limbs, they have a "shaped" appearance. It was just a fun idea, but I will not pursue it as I want the trees to live. I do have plans to harvest "many" small pines from a local cow pasture if I can get permission, the trees will be trampled and never grow were they are. At that time I can test some different ideas with ease.

I just went outside and looked at them. It is hard to tell, most are just 1 needle coming out. the new grow is small with many needles at this time. You have a good point, I was in the mind set that they were like pines from around here. Actually they had them shipped in, I think it had a card with it, I will try to locate. I do know it is not the LongIsland/NorthFork Pine.

I too was surprised, they had been in the small paper pot, no drain hole, for over 2 months when I got them. They were in good shape, the re-potting is when they started Turing brown.
Thanks for the Help!
