About the item:

The red Japanese pine, a native of Japan and some surrounding areas, features bright green, evergreen foliage and distinct reddish bark. Commonly found in Japanese gardens and valued for its ornamental appeal, it is also cultivated on a larger scale for timber. These conifers can reach heights of up to 100 feet in natural settings but are often smaller when grown domestically, averaging about a foot of growth per year. The Japanese red pine is typically multi-trunked, produces numerous small pinecones, and bears soft needles. Noted for its pine needle oil, which is reputed to have various medicinal properties, this tree also serves as an excellent specimen for bonsai.
