Pinus thunbergii 'Yatsubusa', commonly known as the dwarf Japanese black pine, is a unique, slow-growing evergreen tree often shaped into cloud pruned forms for a striking visual effect. It typically grows to a height of 1-2 meters, making it ideal for small gardens, bonsai, and ornamental landscapes. The tree features dense, dark green needles and a rugged, textured bark that add to its aesthetic appeal. 'Yatsubusa' thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, displaying excellent tolerance to coastal conditions and drought. Its distinctive, sculpted appearance and resilience make it a prized choice for Japanese-style gardens and artistic landscape designs.
