Mizuma Japanese Black Pine Chosen for Overseas Gardens｜Otsu Shorakuen’s Quality & Craft 🌲🌏

Otsu Shorakuen was founded in the early Showa era in Mizuma, Kurume City, Fukuoka. For four generations, we have carried on the skills and trained eye required to grow and select high-quality Japanese black pine.

Our “Mizuma Japanese Black Pine” is chosen not only in Japan, but also for overseas gardens in Vietnam, Thailand, Europe, and more 😊
Because exporting requires passing strict inspections and quarantine rules in each country, we value delivering every tree safely and reliably through experience and specialized know-how 🌲🌏

Key points that protect our quality ✅
⚫︎Stress-minimized shipping: reducing transport stress is essential for living trees
⚫︎Damage-free branch packing: applying bonsai styling and pruning techniques to prevent damage during transport
⚫︎Moisture-protection wrapping: using sphagnum moss to prevent drying, adjusted to shipping conditions
⚫︎Pre-quarantine preparation: thorough pest/disease control, soil management, and proper packing
⚫︎Long-distance quality retention: temperature/humidity care and packing methods to help trees arrive healthy

In addition to Japanese black pine (Mizuma black pine), we also handle red pine, Japanese white pine, Podocarpus, and stone lanterns that complement black pine garden scenes 🪨✨
