Hi I also recently got given this pinus nigra nana as the lable says which is a dwarf black pine. Has any one ever worked with one? Or have any ideas what I could potentially do with it.
Here is some pics as It came to me.

Plant it in the garden, enjoy your new decor and buy a plant more suited to bonsai. If you want a black pine, get a pinus nigra austriaca - a much more suitable (yet still hard to train) plant.
Or, better yet, a pinus thunbergi, Japanese black pine.

You could, of course, try to train it, but it's not what I would call good-looking material.

Yep I've not really worked with pine before so I will just use it to learn the basics and maybe one day find a way to do something with it I'm sure there will be someting hiding in there i could work with over time

Definitely not the best material for bonsai, but you can learn some things from working with it. Use this as your training material, but don't hope for stellar bonsai. Pines require more advanced techniques, but that doesn't mean this is impossible. The problem with your plant is the number of whorls, the thickness of those young branches, & that large reverse taper you have at the top. Extremely difficult to correct, and your time could be better spent on trees that don't have them, which are out there. Learn how to care & train a pine with this, research how to select good material (which takes time & experience), then move your way to a tree that will allow you to create a solid bonsai.
名媛直播, as you know, takes years, so you'll probably be doing this for life if you keep it up. Continue learning, asking questions like this, and best of luck.

Thanks for that reply yep the tree is ugly i agree but I'm sure I will learn a lot from looking after it and before spending good money on good material I can learn the basics first and not really have an issue if I make a mistake

The tree isn't ugly. It's just nog good bonsai material

Yes I know. that's kind of what I was getting at to be fair wrong choice of words but I'm sure I will learn a lot from it
