Pinus nigra
Japanese black pine specially selected for bonsai, featuring short needles and dense foliage that allows fine branching. A classic species in bonsai art, appreciated for its robustness and adaptability.
Place in a very sunny location. Prune regularly to maintain shape and encourage new branching. Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid frequent relocation. Repot every 2-3 years in spring. Frost-resistant but protect in extreme winters.
