** So thanks to Graham for identifying the pine as a Western White pine. It's not a Limber pine or shore pine.

Lodgepole pine and shore pine are in fact the same species. If you take a lodgepole pine and plant it on the beach, it will be a shore pine. if you plant a shore pine in the woods you will have a lodgpole pine. seems odd since shore pine needles are about 3" long whereas lodgepole pine needles are about 11" long plus the shore pine is multi leadered whereas the lodgepole pine usually has a single trunk.
@NatureShy

Partially correct. They are both the same species, but they are different varieties or subspecies. var. latifolia is the "forest/mountain" regular lodgepole pine. The tall and skinny one. var. contorta is Shore Pine, with multiple trunks. Typically not called Lodgepole Pine, to differentiate it from var. latifolia. var. murryana is Sierra Lodgepole Pine, which looks and grows similar to var. latifolia. So no, if you plant a Shore Pine in the forest, it wouldn't grow as a mountainous lodgepole pine. And if you plant a mountainous lodgepole pine, it wouldn't necessarily grow as a Shore Pine, because they're different varieties with different genetics and growth patterns. However, (regular) lodgepole and sierra lodgepole pine can sometimes have multiple trunks when grown as krumholtz trees in the higher reaches in the mountains where weather can stunt their growth significantly.

Shore Pine Pinus contorta var. contorta is the one typically sold by nurseries and planted in landscapes. You can sometimes find Sierra lodgepole pine and regular lodgepole pine sold though, at some native nurseries and a few other regular nurseries. But it is not common.

Ben thanks for the ride along. We live in the Black Hills of South Dakota and I have been doing Bonsai since I was a teenager in the 70's. I hope you do a follow up video on both those 2 trees so we can keep up with how they are doing. We have an abundance of Spruce, Pine and Juniper here that we collect from all the rocky higher altitude areas and I can tell you it's not easy collecting one, taking it home and throwing it in a pot and then it grows....it took me several years of slow trial and error to get what works here down so now we don't ever loose a tree when at first it was maybe 50/50 that would survive or die. I learned the hard way that the least stress you put on a collected tree the better And putting it in a container ASAP with its own soil around the nebari and root ball the better. We always place all our collected trees in a layer of Sphagnum Moss under a top layer of its own soil then a good top layer of Bonsai soil formulated for Pine & Juniper on the very bottom for drainage and a top covering just to help it get the proper distribution of minerals to help in new root growth. We found that in 6 months we have EXCELLENT new root development using this formula. Oh as a last thing....once we bring one home and pot it up we absolutely do nothing but monitor it's water till it's grown at least a full season then we start to train and if needed wire it. Alot of the ones we collect need very little if any wiring to make very beautiful natural bonsai... usually we just prune it to get the designs and pad formation we look. Good luck and we really enjoyed the videos

It’s also the best emergency recovery method for trees that get sunburnt and experiencing drought. We have had a ton of success using it to recover a lot of issues. It can also be used as a way to force back budding on stubborn material 🎉

There are lots of ways to keep your plants watered.

As I think of looking for unique twisted young trees, I would go to areas along the waterfront that get high winds like Fort Ebey State Park on Whidbey Island. All the wind blowing through the Straight of Juan De Fuca hit that park. Near the mouth of the Columbia river or where the river cuts through the Cascade Mountains would be good too! Along the ocean and Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park are good places hit by lots of wind as well. La Push and Neah bay have had winds of over 130 mph, that is good tree twisting wind!

the good thing is we all dont and unlike logging, bonsai people take the the most beat up trees that are small and broken usually. Compared to forest fires, loggers and and even firefighters who cut down trees prior to fire season by the thousands, bonsai collecting barely makes up .0001 % of trees that are transplanted to grow and be cultivated as bonsai.
