ENDURING BEAUTY FOR ALL SEASONS

Ornamental pine trees have the power to transform our natural world, giving form, color and texture to your garden space. Because they are evergreen, decorative pines add loveliness to a garden throughout the months when neighboring trees have lost their leaves.

We offer a wide variety of well-developed ornamental pine trees. Our attention to detail and years of care create ornamental pines that are highly sought after, drawing buyers from across the country and for unique garden and architecture projects (read how we helped Cambridge MIT create a living sculpture).

We would be delighted to help you make the perfect selection for your garden!

CRAFTING OUR PINES BY HAND

As stewards, we spend years carefully pruning and cultivating our ornamental pine trees, using traditional Japanese practices to showcase the natural essence that we envisioned when we began pruning them as seedlings. For example, many of the pines we have developed appear as though they have been transplanted from the windswept side of a cliff. Note: Our specialty pines require regular and proper maintenance to ensure that they continue to grow into their intended design (read about the value of good pruning: part 1, part 2, and part 3).
