Red Japanese Pine

The Japanese trees came to Occident in the 1860s. In a period of ten years there appear the white, red and black Japanese pines. But collectors are interested in the red Japanese pine. It is a tree that marks the horizon line in the Japanese garden with its notched crown and reddish bark.
