What's the name or species for this type of plant (pine )?
First I would like to introduce myself as a bonsai hobbyist. I have just bought a bonsai plant (pine) which I could not find any information on the internet. Could anyone help to identify it for me & provide me with information on care and watering info for this plant?
Here are some photos to help anyone who are willing to help me. By the way I got this plant from the mobile China bonsai seller in our country, Malaysia.
Thanks.[img][/img]Limber Pine (Pinus flexilis)[img]https://i.servimg.com/u/f80/13/70/76/64/a16.jpg[[url=https://servimg.com/view/13707664/19][img]https://i.servimg.com/u/f80/13/70/76/64/b15.j[url=https://servimg.com/view/13707664/20]pg[/img][/url]/img][/url]

That is a Invisible Pine (Pinus nonexistent).
They are hard to find....

This is probably not a pine since pines without needles are usually dead.
More likely given the location it is a type of Ficus from which the leaves have been removed.
Although the trees look fairly mature they could be recently rooted cuttings from a larger tree.
We really need to see a photo of the trees with leaves.

PICS more please
I'm not so sure its a pine from what I'm seeing so far. You are going to have to find a bigger version of what you have here or let the leaves come out for anyone to figure it out. I almost wanna tag it a type of Hazel.

From the lenticules on the bark, I'd guess, birch, beech, or something in the Prunus family -- in descending order of probability.

Jim
How common would any of these species be in Malaysia?

Probably not much less common than Pinus flexilis. <g> But if it IS a tropical, then I wouldn't have the froggiest notion.

It looks like a species of larch (Larix sp.).
You will find info here :
Wikipedia : Larix
It might be a Larix speciosa if it comes from China.

This is most definitely Larch but I have never seen a Larch with a trunk/bark configuration like this one assuming we are talking about the same tree in both pictures.

We don't have many Larch in Central Florida but I agree that the emerging needles look like what I have seen on Larch, but the phtot of the multi tree planting don't look like the Larch I have seen.
I don't know a lot about Malaysia but I don't think they have many decidious trees and I would be concerned that a decidious species would get enough cold to be happy for long.

Re : Thanks everybody for the informations.
Thanks everybody for the help to identify my plant. I guess after some search on the net with all your help I have also come to the conclusion that it's a larch & is a coniferous plant.
Well, I also don't see many of this type of plant in Malaysia & anywhere I bought it from those bonsai seller from China.
Thanks everybody.

Larch need very cold winters and a LONG dormancy. I'm in zone 7, and they don't do well here. Zone 6 is ok and zones 5 and 4 they'll thrive.
You're in zone 11 or higher. I can't imagine that they'll survive if they are a larch.

Not all Larches Jim, I'm in Zone 9 and Larix decidua and Larix kaempferi thrive here. I've probably got 50 or 60 trees. The Foresters also use them in plantations here.

Larch survival
As I am sure Kevin knows there is Zone 9 and there is Zone 9. He is in North Wales, UK and I am on the Space Coast of Florida.

In my opinion, it's not a question of how long the winter lasts, it's more a matter of the summer conditions : I live in zone 8b, and the problem (compared to zone 9 in Wales) is that it can get very dry and hot in the summer.
Yet, my laches are very healthy : I put them in the shade in the hottest weeks, and I pay attention to the roots that must stay in a damp soil. Larches are very thirsty trees...
I have Dunkel larches (Larix x × marschlinsii, syn. L. × eurolepis, an illegitimate name), more resistant to drought than Larix decidua, the European larch, but friends here have European larches and they're doing well too.
