Origin
The Pinus densiflora Jane Kluis is a type of pine tree that originally comes from East Asia. This tree is common in the wild, mainly in countries such as Japan, Korea and parts of East China. The tree typically grows on mountainsides and in coastal regions. The species is named after Jane Kluis, a leading botanist.


Characteristics
The Pinus densiflora Jane Kluis is characterised by its dense and compact growth form. The tree has dark green needles that grow in groups of two. The bark of this tree has an orange-red colour which, as the tree grows older, cracks into large plates. A conical and symmetrical crown and the ability to grow up to 30 meters high, although this height is rarely reached in cultivated specimens, are also characteristic of this species.

Care
The Pinus densiflora Jane Kluis prefers full sun and grows best in well-drained soil. This pine tree can handle drought well and requires only minimal care. As for pruning, this is generally not necessary unless one wants to control the shape or size of the tree. It is recommended to plant young trees in the autumn so their root systems can establish themselves in the winter.
