Thunderhead – A Bold Beginning

Botanical Name: Pinus thunbergii 'Thunderhead'

Common Name: Japanese Black Pine “Thunderhead”

Story of the Tree

This striking Thunderhead Japanese Black Pine was purchased at the Mammoth Auction in 2023, chosen for its strength and potential.

In December 2023, Maryann gave the tree its first formal styling, marking the beginning of a new phase in its development.

Since then, it has continued to evolve—under careful observation and guidance—toward a refined and powerful form. Still early in its journey, this tree already carries the unmistakable presence of its variety: bold, compact, and full of energy.
