Position & light
Keep outdoors in a sunny position with good airflow. Allow a newly repotted tree to establish before major styling, and avoid a warm indoor display as its permanent home.
Watering
Check regularly and water thoroughly when the upper soil layer begins to dry. Ensure free drainage; pines dislike persistently saturated roots but must not be allowed to dry out completely.
Feeding & pruning
Feed during active growth following the product instructions. Mountain Pine is a single-flush pine: do not apply Japanese Black Pine decandling methods. Seek species-specific guidance before substantial candle, branch or root work.
Winter care
Keep outdoors and protect the pot during prolonged hard freezes. Shelter from persistent saturation and drying winds while preserving light and airflow.

Please note:
Trees
- Image shown is of the actual tree you will receive unless stated otherwise in the actual product's description
- The height given is from the base of the pot to the top of the tree.
- The tree received may be slightly different from the picture. Whilst we try to keep the photos of our trees as up to date as possible, these are live plants and, as such, will continue to grow and change slightly in between the times we take the photos.
Pots
- Some of our Bonsai pots are bought in bulk and unfortunately it's impossible to photograph each single item so the photograph used is taken from one random item of each collection we sell. In 99% of cases this means that any differences won't even be noticeable, however, if you have seen a particular image of a pot that has a certain streak of paint in a certain place, bear in mind that the pot you receive may not be 100% identical to this.
