Pine Japanese Black 5 Gallon

Description: The Japanese Black Pine is a slow-growing, long-lived tree with a distinctive, irregularly-shaped crown. Its dark green needles are borne in clusters of two and are typically stiff and twisted, creating a unique texture. The bark of mature trees is dark gray to black and becomes deeply furrowed with age, adding to the tree's rugged aesthetic. In late spring to early summer, female trees produce small, ovoid cones that may persist on the branches for several years. Size: Japanese Black Pines typically reach heights of 20 to 60 feet (6 to 18 meters) with a spread of 20 to 35 feet (6 to 11 meters) at maturity. However, individual trees may vary in size depending on growing conditions, climate, and genetic factors. Young trees have a more pyramidal shape, while older specimens often develop a broader, more irregular crown. Japanese Black Pines grow relatively slowly, especially in their early years, but they can live for several centuries under optimal conditions. Best Growing
