Native to Japan, the Pinus thunbergii, or Japanese black pine, is one of the most iconic and respected species in the bonsai world.

This tree symbolizes resilience and longevity, highly valued for its timeless appearance and ability to express the passage of time through its form and texture.

Quantity

Sunlight: Prefers full sun. It should receive direct sunlight for most of the day to ensure healthy growth and strong needles.

Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but avoid waterlogging. Pines prefer well-draining soil.

Humidity: Tolerates moderate humidity but should not be kept in excessively damp environments to prevent root rot.

Pruning: Regularly prune long or disordered branches to maintain the desired shape. Pinching new shoots is essential to control growth and encourage fine ramification.

Fertilization: Fertilize during spring and early summer with a balanced fertilizer for conifers. Reduce feeding in late summer and autumn.

Repotting: Repot every 3–4 years, preferably in spring before new growth begins, using a well-draining soil mix suitable for conifers.

Flowering: The true beauty of Pinus thunbergii lies in the texture of its bark and the visual strength of its needles, reflecting the passage of time and the serene spirit of classic bonsai.
