Seed Grown Japanese Black Pine
This seed-grown Pinus thunbergii ‘Mikawa’ represents the earliest stage of true bonsai artistry — strong roots, youthful growth, and a future full of design potential. Grown entirely from seed and never grafted, this pine maintains a pure lineage and natural vigor that collectors prize.
The name ‘Mikawa’ refers to the coastal region of Japan where these pines were originally propagated. While “Mikawa” is not a registered cultivar, trees from this origin are admired for their soft, dark-green needles, rugged bark, and compact internodes — traits that make them an ideal foundation for future refinement.

This pre-bonsai offers a rare opportunity to shape a Japanese Black Pine from the ground up — a blank canvas for those who value the process as much as the finished form. With proper training, it will evolve into a commanding bonsai with aged bark, strong taper, and classic Japanese character.
