Experience the Craftsmanship of a Bonsai Grower
These were NOT decandled last year to let them grow. Japanese Black Pine seedlings from Mark Comstock represent the pinnacle of bonsai cultivation. Each tree has undergone years of patient care and expert techniques, laying the foundation for exceptional bonsai with stunning root development and immense future potential.
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 7" to 10" tall from the soil.
- They will arrive in a 3.5" plastic pot.
