I bought the pinus bungeana i was talking about. The question i
now have, is
that is it acceptable to train the bungeana in a windswept
style, or
possible a slanted style?

We don't have "Bonsai Police" (yet). You can style any tree in
any shape that you think will look good to you.

From what others have said on this species, those sound like
acceptable options, anyway. Maybe bunjin, too.

I'll let the pine experts handle the second half of your
question.

I don't know anything about this species, but my first suggestion would be to ask
the tree. Don't rush into it. Look at it for awhile (not minutes, but weeks or
months) and see what comes to mind. Second suggestion would be to post a picture
on the gallery and see what suggestions you get.
