Japanese Black Pine

Bonsai trees are typically made from the Japanese Black Pine. It’s familiar shape (which reminds me of those trippy fractal patterns) is used often in visual depictions of Japan.

The tree is often found at Japanese shrines and temples. The trees frame perhaps the most iconic photo of Japan – The Golden Pavilion Temple in Kyoto.

When people think of bonsai, the first vision which usually comes to mind is the dark brown branches with green pine needles – this is the Japanese Black Pine Tree.
