Named after the Japanese Matsu Tree: One of the world's greatest and most beloved trees also known as the pine tree. Its beauty lasts all year long and adds a nice dash of green to a white winter landscape. The various pine species can withstand cold and snow as well as rocky soil, wind, and drought. An adult pine tree can grow to be very tall. It has a scent that's very relaxing and soothing (and for a good reason).

The Tsubaki Room name comes from: Camellia japonica in nature is an evergreen sub canopy tree, commonly 3 to 6 meters tall, with occasional specimens being quite a bit higher than that. The tallest on record is 18 meters (that’s almost 60 feet!). I’ve seen many in the 10-12 meter range with trunk diameters approaching 60 centimeters in really large trees. The bark is an even gray color and very smooth.
