Hello!

Today I went to a nursery of an acquintance of mine, and got these pines and spruces (although young they were the oldest) so now I'm thinking of potential shohins or mame or whatever people like to call them. As you can see, most of these have thin trunks; but there are about 10 +/- that can be worked with, based on some works I've seen. Spruce seems most appealing to me, because of its small needles and good looking color of the trunk that can be bent in interesting ways, so it seems to me it could look good if cut down to a mini bonsai. But I'm not sure yet what to do with these tall pines. Most of these seedlings, 60-70 of those, will be planted in my garden as they are too thin to even think about them. If you have any ideas I'm overseeing here, I'll be glad to read about them. Here are some photographs:

From what I can see from the photos, none of the larger plants are suitable for shohin or mame - or even for bonsai at all. From the four smaller ones some may be of some use, but I'd need a better picture.

I apologise for the lack of quality of photos,but that's the best that can be done before I separate all the plants. You can't really see the upper branching structure of those pines, but I'm going for literati with them, and with some good wiring, seems to me the movement of the trunk should make up for the lack of thickness. I'll post better photos in the coming days, once the plants are separated.

I wasn't looking at the upper branching, but at the lack of lower branches.
Literati style might work.

other than garden plants i see nothing of any potential..

juvenile sticks without lower branches like Auk says..
even literati wouldn't work as it's just too obvious that they are young plants..

only one bonsai use for these: use these to graft onto older pines which lack a branch or has worse foliage ..

I understand your scepticism, but by the example Peter Warren did in his book, actually I'm even late for literati on these (haha), because his pines look younger a year or two. As these, they don't have lower growth, perhaps one thin branch or two at the very bottom, but although ideally it would add some girth downstairs in time, it's not what I'm looking for at this point, but the amazing movement of the trunk like he achieved there with good wiring. The look of the plant he achieved there could satisfy me as the final goal with these pines,even if there was no girth he expected to achieve in time. If I fail to achieve the similar movement, I can always prune the top growth hard to cause budding downstairs. If someone did any work on young pines and spruces like these, I'd like to know.
