Seed-Grown Japanese Black Pine Bonsai (1987) with Rugged Bark & Powerful Branch Structure (One-Of-A-Kind)
This is a seed-grown Japanese Black Pine with real age, grown from seed in 1987 (35+ years old). You can feel it immediately in the bark and the silhouette. It has that mature “black pine” presence collectors look for: rugged texture, strong movement, and branches that already read like a bonsai, not nursery stock.
The branch structure is a big part of what makes this tree special. It has a confident, balanced canopy with multiple pads already forming — the kind of framework that lets the next caretaker focus on refinement, density, and needle/candle work over time, instead of trying to invent the tree from scratch.
It’s planted in a 9" Yixing bonsai pot that complements the tree’s character and keeps the presentation clean and classic. This is an ideal pine for someone who wants a tree with legitimate age and structure, and the satisfaction of dialing it in season after season.
