I've seen them do well in places as diverse as Washington D.C. and Salt Lake City. They are a mountain tree and like to go fully dormant in winter. White, or five needle, pines include a large number of species. Some do very well in Northern California, others are more sensitive and have good or bad seasons from year to year. I like the variety so I actually watched the progress of a specific tree for several years before buying it to make sure it would do well here.

It stands for Bay Island Island Bonsai, a bonsai organization started by Boon Manakitivipart around 13 years ago. I've been a member since the beginning. If you'd like to see photos from past exhibits, check http://bayislandbonsai.com/bay-island-photo-gallery/ I also wanted to say it's nice to hear from you - I've noted your career from afar for some time now and really appreciate your work.
