Austrian Pine vs Japanese Black Pine
Pinus thunbergii
Pinus nigra
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Japanese Black Pine is known for its unique and irregular growth habit, making it a striking landscape addition. It typically does not grow with a central leader. This causes it to form a flat-top, classic bonsai-like shape when mature. When it has a central leader, it will grow with a twisted trunk. Another striking feature is the white apical buds which contrast with the surrounding green needles.
The Japanese Black Pine is an excellent candidate for a bonsai tree and is frequently used by the bonsai community. It is found along the Japanese coast and is salt tolerant.
Austrian Pine is a medium-sized evergreen known for its dense rounded crown and long needles.
This moderately fast growing tree adds year-round colour to your yard and tends to be resistant the effects of snow, ice, and pollution.
