This Japanese white pine Kohonoe is a very slow growing variety.
It was purchased from a dealer in May 2002 a few months after it had been imported from Japan.
October 2005
May 2006. These two photos show the tree before and after trimming the candles.
This is the first year that it has been necessary to cut the candles, but as can be seen it put on a lot of new growth this year.
This photo shows the top candles, and as there were small candles at the base these were removed.
Height: 71cms. Spread: 56cms.
Japanese pot.
