This is a One Of A Kind Cork Bark Japanese Black Pine
This is an old Japanese Black Pine that we just purchased from a local customer / collector on October 2023. The Pine was repotted early 2024.
Cork Bark Black Pines are unusual and rare. they are striking and unique specimen in the bonsai world. Its most distinguishing feature is the deeply fissured, cork-like bark that gives the tree an ancient and textured appearance, even at a relatively young age. The rugged bark contrasts beautifully with the tree's dark green, short needles, which grow in dense clusters.
The overall form of the cork bark Japanese black pine bonsai exudes strength and resilience, with a naturalistic and powerful presence.

Wiring is best done in autumn or early winter, so that the branches can become accustomed to their new position while the tree is dormant. Wiring done at other times must be watched carefully for signs of wire cutting into the bark, and must be removed immediately if this happens. If necessary, the tree can be re-wired after removing the old wire.
Repotting is best done in spring. Junipers can also be repotted in autumn if necessary, since they enter a period of renewed root growth at that time. Extensive root pruning in autumn is probably not a good idea, however.
Pines and other conifers grow in association with a symbiotic fungus which grows in the root ball of the tree. If this fungus is not present, the tree may die. For this reason, pines and other conifers should never be bare-rooted
