The black pine has long needles, and in order to make it shorter, in addition to controlling water and fertilizer when the new leaves grow in the spring, Japanese bonsai was also created"Short-leaf method", its content includes cutting young branches, thinning buds, picking old leaves, the specific operation is as follows: in July to August the growth of the new branches of the year are all cut off, because the plant has the ability to self-heal and find balance, the second round of new shoots in August to September will grow on the branches again, can be from September to October to thin off the excess buds, leaving only two buds on both sides of the branches or horizontally. Later, as the climate gradually cooled, the growth of new shoots and new leaves was inhibited, and the remaining old leaves were cut off from November to December, so that the plant was left with the short needles of the second round of growth, which was the best time to see the black pine bonsai.

The shape and trunk of Pinus sylvestris var.

The precious varieties of black pine are very many scattered branches, and the common ones are Shou Pine, Senju Maru, Chiju Hime, Cun Xiao, Purple Cun Xiao and so on.

1. Shou Song

Originating from Shikoku, Japan, the pine tree was set on fire during World War II and mutated, and later grafted into a new variety with short, dense needles and a slower growth rate.

2. Senju Pill

3, Chijuhime

The differences between Pinus tabuliformis and Pinus nigra are as follows:

Pine buds are different

The pine buds of black pine are white, so they are also called "white bud pine"; The pine buds of Pinus tabuliformis are slightly reddish, i.e., brownish-red.

The bark is different

The bark of the adult black pine is dark and grayish-black, hence the name "black pine"; The bark of Pinus tabuliformis is slightly lighter in color, brown, cracked, and the cracks are reddish-brown.

The branch morphology is different

The growth rate of black pine is relatively fast, the spacing between each layer of branches is relatively large, and at the same height, the number of pine branch layers of black pine is small, and the number of pine branch layers of Pinus tabuliformis is more. In addition, the trunk of the black pine tree in adulthood tends to be tortuous and curved; The trunk of the pine tree is relatively straight.

The role is different

Black pine has greening effect and ornamental value, which can be used for barren mountain afforestation and landscaping; Pinus tabuliformis has economic value, which can be used for building materials, cutting pine resin, turpentine, rosin, etc., and the skin can be extracted from tannin gum.

Pinus tabuliformis, Pinus nigra.

Judging from the data records, there are two key distinguishing characteristics between the two: one is the winter buds, the winter buds of Pinus tabuliformis are reddish-brown, and the winter buds of Japanese black pine are silvery-white. Winter buds are not visible in this season, so in the end there is only one other feature that can distinguish between the two, the pine needle resin growth position.

Pinus tabulaeolia resin is born on the side of the road, and Japanese black pine is born.

Morphological characteristics of Pinus nigra:Black pine, also known as white bud pine, is an evergreen tree that can reach 30 meters tall and has grayish-black bark. It blooms in April, with single flowers, and the female flowers are born at the top of the sprouts, which are purple in color, and most of the scales (carpels) overlap and are arranged in a spherical shape.

When ripe, most of the pollen drifts out with the wind. The cones mature in the autumn of the following year, and the scales split to scatter the seeds, which have thin wings. The umbilicus of the scales has short spines.

Up to 30 meters and up to 2 meters at breast height; Male cones pale reddish-brown, cylindrical, centimeter long, clustered in the lower part of the new branches; Female cones solitary or 2-3 clustered near the apex of new branches, erect, peduncled, ovate, pale purplish-red or pale brownish-red. It has strong resistance to diseases and insects, and is the preferred tree species for greening barren mountains and roads.

The black ones have a meaty mouth and a pointed mouth.

Black pine and Pinus tabuliformis belong to the same family of plants, and there are naturally many similarities in appearance characteristics, if you want to distinguish between the two, you can start from the following aspects:

Pine needle differences. Black pine needles are thicker and harder than those of pine pinnacles, and the former has a prickly feel to the touch.

Winter bud differences. The winter buds of black pine are white, and the winter buds of Pinus tabuliformis are reddish-brown.

Bark differences. The young trees are not clearly distinguished, and when the plants reach adulthood, the bark of the black pine is dark and grayish-black. The bark of Pinus tabuliformis is slightly lighter in color, brown, cracked, and the cracks are reddish-brown.

In addition, Pinus nigra grows relatively quickly, so the spacing between branches is larger than that of Pinus tabuliformis. At the same height, the former has fewer layers of pine branches. In adulthood, the trunk of the black pine tends to be tortuous and curved, while the pine is relatively straight.
