One-of-a-Kind Japanese Black Pine Bonsai (Seed-Grown 1988)
This one-of-a-kind Japanese Black Pine was grown from seed in 1988 and offers what serious pine growers chase: a powerful base with the kind of age and character you can’t shortcut. The branching is in its earlier stages of development, which is exactly why this tree is exciting. There’s room to build, refine, and create density over time while starting from a foundation that already feels mature.
This is the type of JBP where the long-term value is obvious: you’re buying the base. With continued seasonal work, the canopy will fill out and tighten up, but the base is the part that takes decades, and this one already delivers.

Why This Tree Stands Out
- Great base and trunk character: The foundation is there—strong, aged, and built for a convincing finished pine.
- High upside: Branch structure is established, and with time it can be developed into a denser, more refined silhouette.
- Collector-grade timeline: Seed-grown 1988 material is increasingly hard to replace—this is decades in the making.
