Pinus thunbergii ‘Christmas Tree’ – Japanese Black Pine

Pinus thunbergii ‘Christmas Tree’ is a grafted form of Japanese Black Pine, prized for its naturally compact habit, rugged character and attractive evergreen foliage. Slow growing and easy to maintain, it reaches approximately 1.5m high and 1m wide within its first 10 years, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens, courtyards and large containers.

The attractive spring candle growth can be selectively pruned to encourage denser foliage and create a more sculptural appearance. This makes ‘Christmas Tree’ particularly appealing to bonsai enthusiasts and gardeners creating Japanese-inspired landscapes.

With its graceful branching, year-round colour and compact form, this distinctive pine provides lasting structure as a standalone specimen or as part of a carefully designed garden.
