Description

Pinus thunbergii ‘Banshosho’ is a slow-growing, compact, dwarf selection of Japanese Black Pine with a dense, naturally globular, mounding shape that might reach 5 to 6 feet tall and wide after many years. If desired, it can also be pruned to a more pyramidal form. It has short branches with bottlebrush-like clusters of lighter green new needles that age to a darker green. It produces numerous buds and showy, thick candles in spring. Banshosho is very easy to grow in a sunny position with well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant when established. It is a fantastic specimen for small garden spaces and containers, and is an excellent candidate for bonsai and unique topiary forms.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Banshoso Japanese Black Pine is ideal as a specimen in smaller garden spaces and containers. It is a perfect selection for bonsai. Selective removal of branches can be performed to create engaging and unique pom-pom topiary and other irregular shapes. It can also be pruned to form more of a pyramid. It looks right at home in Asian-themed gardens and is a fine addition to rock gardens, conifer gardens, and xeric gardens (low water needs).

Suggested Spacing: 6 feet apart for spaced groupings

Growing Preferences

Although drought-tolerant once established, the Banshosho Japanese Black Pine grows best in moist, well-drained, fertile soil in full sun, but will tolerate some light afternoon shade. Constantly soggy soil can cause problems with the roots. It does not require pruning; however, it responds well to it for shaping purposes and bonsai.
