35+ Year Seed-Grown Japanese Black Pine Pre-Bonsai
This is the kind of Japanese Black Pine you don’t “find later.” It’s 35+ years old, seed-grown, and came from the Gerald Rainville collection - a small group of trees we purchased years back. There are very few of these remaining, and when they’re gone, they’re gone.
What makes this tree special is the combination of age, honest seed-grown character, and serious future potential. It’s a true collector piece in pre-bonsai form. Ideal for someone who wants to build a refined pine from rare, mature material instead of starting from nursery stock.
What You’re Getting
- Age: 35+ years (seed-grown)
- Height: 13" (soil to apex)
- Spread: 12"
- Pot: 6.5" Tokoname grow pot (#5)
- Training: Recently received its first styling (fresh direction, ready for the next phase)
Why This Pine Converts the Right Buyer
- Seed-grown age: Real pine character takes time — you can’t shortcut 35+ years.
- Collector provenance: Sourced from Gerald Rainville’s material — this is not mass-produced stock.
- Pre-bonsai sweet spot: The fun part is ahead — refinement, pad development, and the long-term build.
The tree pictured is the exact tree you’ll receive.
