Are you interested in growing your own bonsai trees, but don't want to start from scratch (e.g. seed or cutting)? We're releasing a limited number of 2025 spring-start Japanese black pine from our grow operation, just for you!
BONUS: you have a young tree and want to make it into a bonsai - but how do you begin? It's so exciting to start a bonsai from scratch, and in this video, Eric demonstrates three examples of what you can do with a two year old Japanese Black Pine bonsai starter. "Think of all the steps of bonsai design with the end point in mind!"
Japanese black pine are among the most prized of bonsai species, with rugged bark, beautiful dark green needles and a predictable and well-documented growth regimen.
These are in 3.3" plastic containers with small side buds at the one-year node and a strong central leader. This 2025 crop is unwired. The trees shown are a typical example, trunk size is up to 3/16" (about the size of a standard pencil) approximate height - 7-10" The photos are representative, and do not show the actual tree.
These trees are treated like young bonsai, including root work, but they will easily grow and improve in your care!

Excellent pines, as usual
These - like absolutely everything from Eric - are superb. I was very surprised, though, to see that they were functionally bare-rooted in the container. There was definitely some soil/topper, but nearly none. Had I known that, I would have ordered them at a different time. I'm not sure they'll take, but rely on Eric's history of past quality to pull them through.
