Pinus thunbergii - (Japanese Black Pine)

 

An elegant evergreen pine native to coastal regions of Japan and South Korea.  The species, "thunbergii", is in honour of the Swedish Botanist, Carl Peter Thunberg

 

Orange-yellow conical pollen cones appear in spring, developing into very attractive, rich-magenta seed cones

 

Resistant to pollution and salt, and very tolerant of poor nutrient-lacking soils, such as within its native range

 

One of the classic bonsai trees, with its slow growth and short needles. The trees are also strongly used within Japanese gardens as "Niwaki" trained trees

 

Hardy to around -23ºC (-9ºF) but requires a well-drained soil

 

Please note: full germination instructions are printed on each pack
