Grow the quintessential coniferous bonsai tree with these Pinus Thunbergii seeds! The Japanese Black Pine is one of the easier bonsai seed varieties to grow, perfect for gardeners of all levels.
Instructions:
We recommend using the following to sow the seeds:
Pre-soaking and stratification is option, but helps with germination. Pre-soak by placing the seeds in room temperature-warm water for 24 hours. Stratify by placing in soil or sphagnum moss in a baggie or tupperware container and placing the container in a fridge for ~1-2 weeks. From there, sow the seeds in a greenhouse and keep warm and brightly lit. Acclimate seedlings to full sun gradually, or keep under grow lights.

These seeds are for the 2026 growing season.
