Our expertise
Garden trees inspired by the art of niwaki
At the nursery, we cultivate and shape garden trees, drawing inspiration in particular from the Japanese art of *niwaki*—a technique that involves guiding and structuring a tree’s silhouette over the years. This process highlights the trunk, branches, and overall form of each tree, resulting in specimens that feel perfectly at home in a garden setting.
The species
Three styles for your gardens
 |
01 / JAPANESE MAPLES Dissectum Japanese MapleWith its naturally drooping habit and finely cut foliage, the dissectum maple brings a sense of softness and elegance to the garden. Its colors evolve throughout the seasons, from spring to autumn. |
|
02 / CONIFERS Scots pineRecognizable by its orange-hued bark and its graphic silhouette, the Scots pine lends itself particularly well to niwaki training work. Its branches can be gradually structured to highlight its character. |
 |
 |
03 / CONIFERS Japanese black pineWith its dark green needles, vigorous growth habit, and bark that develops a distinctive texture with age, the Japanese black pine is an iconic species in Japanese gardens. Its form can be shaped over time to create a structured and expressive tree.
A selection of our Japanese black pines is also available for shipping. You can find the specific specimens in our online shop.
