Outdoor Pinus Thunbergii | Japanese Black Pine

Pinus Thunbergii or Japanese Black Pine is a classic outdoor, evergreen species of tree to use for Bonsai purposes and it is also very popular in Japan. They have an upright habit, stiff, dark green needles borne in pairs and dark, fissured bark that gives the trunks an imposing, characterful appearance and increases their popularity.

Native to north-eastern China, Japan and Korea, and it is hardy in most temperate areas. When winter temperatures are likely to fall below -5°C for prolonged periods, protect trees in a frost-free shed or greenhouse. During the growing season place in full sun.

Bonsai Pines dislike permanent moisture so be careful not to over water. Good drainage is necessary.
