 Kokyogaien National Gardens

Kokyogaien National Gardens, is a breath of fresh air in the midst of a large metropolitan city. This beautiful and serene garden is the largest green space in Tokyo. Situated in the middle of the park are magnificent Japanese Black Pines. These amazing trees have a natural resistance to pollution and salt. This unique quality makes them the perfect urban tree for an island nation. These sturdy and elegant trees make a perfect overstory tree. The overstory trees form the highest trees in the forest and thus form the canopy of the forest. Trees in the overstory canopy need lots of sunlight to grow. For this reason, they just keep getting taller and taller.  In parks and public places, the Japanese Black Pine is often trained from a young tree to have elegant and intriguing shapes. They are a classic bonsai tree. When used in this way, they require patience and many years to train them correctly. The Kokyogaien National Gardens has many Japanese Black Pines that have taken on unique shapes. What an amazing stand of trees!
