Why These Japanese Black Pine Cuttings Stand Out
- Grown from a Cutting: The taproot is cut and regrown twice to ensure 360-degree aerial roots, creating the ideal foundation for bonsai flared trunks.
- No Taproot Advantage: The absence of a taproot results in fibrous roots, simplifying repotting and early styling.
- Decandled for Compact Growth: Promotes dense foliage, reduces needle size, and encourages back budding, enhancing ramification and creating a refined structure.
- Root Development: potted into 3” Grow Pots and filled with American pumice & lava rock to emphasize nebari (surface roots).
Next Steps for Development
- Summer 2025: Candle prune in June/July for increased branching.
- Fall 2025: Needle pluck to refine growth and shape.
- Spring 2026: Transition to a ceramic pot or continue developing in grow pots for further trunk thickening.
- Perfect start for Nebari (roots that can be seen on the surface)
- The trees measure approximately 4" to 6" tall from the soil.
- They will arrive in a 2.5" plastic pot.
