Root-Over-Rock Japanese Black Pine Kit

This bonsai kit comes with everything you will need to start a Japanese Black Pine on its way to being a great root-over-rock bonsai composition. Watch our video (below) and follow along step-by-step to ensure you create the composition of your dreams! 

Kit includes the following:

• One stone collected by Eric specifically for use in pine Root-Over-Rock compositions. (Typically 5-7" in the largest dimension. Some are slightly smaller.)
• One Japanese Black Pine Tree, growing in a 3x9 Anderson Tree band. (normally a 2 year old tree.)
• One 6" Pond basket to use as the base container. 
• Raffia Rope to attach the tree and rock together. 
• Aluminum wire to wire the tree, and to connect the auxiliary container to the pond basket. 
• A section of drainage mesh to use to make the auxiliary container. (use a spare 1-gallon plastic container or similar if you prefer to keep the mesh for another use.)
• Access to a recorded video session on creating RoR compositions.  
• Soil to fill the pond basket. 

To complete the composition you may also need the following tools and supplies which are not included in the kit:

• Scissors
• Wire cutters
• Extra Bonsai soil

Please Note: While we sell this kit throughout the year, we recommend that you only perform the procedure of attaching the pine to a rock during your repotting season.  This is normally in early spring, after danger of freezing temperatures has passed, but before the tree has started to grow.
