[IBC] Pinus thunbergii 'Mikawa'
If anyone has a photo or two to share of this tree in nature (although close
ups of the foliage of a bonsai are acceptable), I'd appreciate seeing them. Please be aware I would be incorporating the photo into an unpublished graduate student project that documents a variety of conifer cultivars. You ask, "Why don't you just snap some photos of your little Mikawa, Dave?" Its needles have been extensively thinned and arranged this past November, and I don't feel it accurately portrays how the tree would look in nature at this time. Thanks, if anyone can help, David J.

[IBC] Pinus thunbergii 'Mikawa'
David:
There is no such thing as Pinus thunbergi 'Mikawa'. Mikawa is a district in Japan on the Atsumi and Chita Peninsula in Aichi Prefecture. Any Japanese black pine, Pinus thunbergi which comes from that area can be called "Mikawa". So, Mikawa is a provenence source for Japanese black pine. It should not be labeled as a cultivar or used with single quotation marks. Hope this helps clarify the correct use of the word Mikawa. By the way, Heritage Seedlings in Oregon was selling seedlings of Mikawa Japanese black pine a few years ago. As you well know, cultivars can not be propagated by seed, only vegetatively (grafts, cuttings, layers, division or microculture).
