black pine

Japanese ornamental tree

Black pine refers to several species of pine tree characterized by dark bark or foliage, most notably the Japanese black pine and Austrian black pine.

Japanese black pine thrives in coastal conditions and is prized in bonsai cultivation for its rugged, windswept appearance.

Austrian black pine, native to Europe, is valued as an ornamental and timber tree that tolerates poor soils and urban pollution.

The black pines along the shoreline have been sculpted by decades of salt spray.
