The bonsai of Pinus thunbergii kotobuki (black pine) is a robust evergreen conifer that is highly valued in the bonsai art for its wrinkled bark and vigorous needles. The foliage is dense and consists of double, long, thin, dark green needles. It has a trunk with mature, wrinkled bark, which cracks as it ages becoming more interesting as it ages. Worked in a broom style (Hokidachi) with a wide and well-distributed foliage, it gives a harmonious appearance. Grown in a lotus flower green glazed stoneware pot, it highlights the contrast with the dark green of the bonsai's needles.
Grow bonsai outdoors all year round in a well-ventilated area, taking care to place it in a sheltered spot during the colder months and in partial shade during the warmer months.
Always respect the dry and wet cycles: whenever the soil feels dry to the touch, water abundantly. Then wait for the soil to dry before watering again in the same way.
