About this Japanese White Pine Bonsai, 16 Years Old (Pinus parviflora 'Aoi')
16 years in the making and now 18 to 19 inches, this Aoi Japanese white pine carries straight needles that are silvery blue on one face and green on the other, held for several seasons so the canopy always looks full. The branches are sturdy and well built, the bark a quiet silver-grey, and small cones are produced in quantity. The overall form is slender and architectural, an evergreen that reads as a deliberate vertical accent and lends an unmistakably Asian character wherever it stands. Pines want strong light and free-draining soil, so grow it outdoors.
Japanese White Pine bonsai care
This is a living Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Outdoor only: Galinou says do not bring it into the house, and Bonsai Empire keeps pines outside
- Light
- Full sun; too little light lengthens the needles
- Water
- Sources differ: let the soil dry out fully between waterings; let it dry slightly and do not overwater; water when the surface begins to dry
- USDA zones
- 4 to 7 in the ground; UF/IFAS gives 4B to 7A; no source gives a zone for a pot
- Main risks
- Main risks, not ranked by any source: soil that stays soggy; removing all the candles; summer heat
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Japanese White Pine bonsai care guide.
