A classic choice for landscaping and a great bonsai tree too, Japanese Black Pine (Pinus thunbergii) is a robust, lush tree, plentiful in its native Japan, where it is known as Kurmatsu or Omatsu. A 2-needle pine with rich, bright green foliage, Japanese Black Pine's spreading branches form a broad, conical tree which becomes informal and spreading in age, often with a leaning trunk.
This tree is suitable for yards, gardens, and container-growing in a variety of climates, as it will tolerate winds, seaside conditions, and both cold (down to -20°F) and hot circumstances. Heights vary from 20 to 125 feet, depending on conditions. Also available to grow from seed.

Seedling Size Chart: Small
Due to the dynamic nature of actively growing trees, as well as the tremendous variation between species’ growth rates, we rely on the cubic volume of a seedling’s root mass to determine its “size” (Small / Medium / Large / XL). Within each size there is minor variance — the dimensions provided here represent the category minimum. If exact measurements are essential, please contact us about current stock.
