Re: [IBC] pinus bungeana

I was attracted to this species from the descriptions but have found it
to be extremely slow growing, the slowest of any pine species I've tried
and I've tried a lot. Growing in the ground I get only a little growth -
1/2" every year. Maybe I'm missing something? 

When grown well, it's supposed to have the most attractive bark of any
Pine species.

Does the pinus bungeana (Lace Bark Pine) make good bonsai? I found one
at my
local nurserey, and it looks like it has great potential for being
slanted
or windswept. Would these styles be seen in nature with this species?
Thanks
