Can't help with sources, but bear in mind it is susceptible to pine wilt nematode, so may not survive for too long (maybe not more than 20-30 years, the age at which they start to be attractive to the longhorn beetles that spread the disease).

why the insistence on species.. as cultivars are a dime a dozen ... [well.. not a dime.. but so common.. that they should not be wildly expensive] ....

and the question might be.. what is the understock used on cultivars.. and if densiflora.. then your search will be at seedling growers who supply the grafting industry ... [but i bet they are not on densiflora .. which would then lead me to wonder.. why not .... probably because its hard to grow them from seed????]

and if none of that leads you anywhere.. your search will be for some fresh pine cones .. of someones cultivar.. presuming they might cone.. somewhat true, from seed ....

Forestfarm has a couple of cultivars in size 1- unless you just want the challenge from seeds. Interesting about the PWN- 20 to 30 yrs sounds good to me- might as well enjoy it and not worry about it right now- that's my new policy!

Thank you fairfield8619, but I didn't see any on forestfarm.com, except for different cultivars.

I already have multiple different cultivars of Pinus Thunbergii, and Pinus Densiflora growing. I don't want any of the "dwarf" cultivars, which make up most of them. I want the fast growing pure species, which I am going to do some large scale bonsai work on. Or at least attempt. :P After visiting some Japanese gardens in Japan, I'm looking to replicate my own version, and thankfully I have the perfect land to experiment on.

Yes, it is particularly difficult to grow Pinus Densiflora from seed.

Also, I'm hoping since I'm in the part of Texas with not many pines at all(N. Dallas), except for some small mixed in cedars, that I won't run into beetle problems. My 4 acres is largely forested with deciduous trees(Oaks). If the problem does arise, I'll be ready to battle. I may take whatever steps to protect them before the beetles could make it to the trees, if possible.

Still looking for a Pinus Densiflora plant, but doesn't seem like I'm going to have much luck... unless someone can help! I DO have two pure species of Pinus Thunbergii growing, which I'm happy about :)
