This pine is naturally an open grower, however, pinching the candles mid-spring will encourage a more compact form. As with most pines, this unusual plant grows best in a well-drained soil.
To improve looks and airflow, these plants would benefit from periodic 'combing' (use your fingers) to remove dead material.
Native to Japan, this black pine is widely used as bonsai specimens.
