Introducing the Pinus thunbergii - Japanese Black Pine - a stunning horticultural tree that can reach an impressive height of 120 ft! Known for its resistance to pollution and salt, this pine is a popular choice for coastal planting as it holds beach sand in place and thrives in salty conditions. This hardy species is native to Japan and boasts thick, slightly twisted bright green needles that grow up to 4.5 inches long. It's a classic bonsai subject, thanks to its rough bark that gives it a mature, aged appearance. Pinus thunbergii is relatively disease-free and tolerates poor soil conditions, making it an excellent choice for all skill levels. Pruning techniques can reduce the needles' length, and the tree prefers cooler climates and full sun.
