A Pinus thunbergii ‘Kotobuki’ (black pine) bonsai, a robust evergreen conifer highly prized in the art of bonsai for its rough bark and vigorous needles. The foliage is dense and consists of long, slender, dark green double needles. It features a trunk with mature, rough bark, which cracks as it ages, becoming increasingly interesting. At the base, it has well-developed exposed roots that branch out above the ground, adding both aesthetic value and strength, as they represent the tree’s stability, anchorage and maturity. Grown in a rectangular, unglazed stoneware pot, it enhances the colour contrast and brings out the natural beauty of the bonsai.
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.
