juniper

G'day Folks, I need some tips for my Juniper... Some context: - It is a common Juniper prostrata - Developed over last 3 years, purchased as a young tree from a big box nursery - It is all spiky, juvenile foliage, but there is some scale foliage forming, so I now know it has that ability - It...

Winter is reaching our garden gates all across the northern hemisphere. This means junipers are turning color! For our own reference, and maybe for some worried beginners too, I think it might be nice if we share some of our gold, orange, purple, blue and greens. Nothing has turned here yet...

Hi, I am looking for advice. Most of my collection of bonsais (around 40) are doing fine, but I have this Itoigawa juniper that has been having issues for the last 2 years. I initially thought it was the quality of the tap water, so the now I only use RO water + injected fertilizer The three...

On 8/23 I went by a house that will be demolished next week and paid $20 to dig out this juniper. I'm pretty sure it is an ERC/Juniperus Virginian, and likely ~47 years old as the house was built in 1977. I know that ERC gets a lot of grief as bonsai, but the 5" twisted trunks and tons of...

So far the best $21.00 I've spent so far buying a tree. There isn't much inner growth but I'm clearing out some dead branches (don't worry I'm saving the thicker ones and ones worth saving) to allow sunlight to reach in. I mostly fell in love with the thick curved trunk. It's hard for pictures...

I have a 70 year old shimpaku juniper that I have taken care of over the past 3 years. I recently moved from Georgia to Sacramento, CA and the tree suffered a serious hit from the move likely from my packaging and heat. I had watered the plant thoroughly and wrapped the soil/pot in plastic and...

Hi! So I have had the juniper pictured below for just under a year now. I am unsure of how to proceed. It seems to me like the pads need to be thinned out but I don’t really know how to do this. Also the area near the end of the cascade is a sort of “blob” of foliage and it doesn’t look right...

I am wondering if Junipers care terribly about the material of the pot they're placed in. Even if it's not an extreme preference to one type, is there a material generally preferred?

I posted a while ago of a Nana Juniper with some browning issues. I was given some tips and advice, and was going to apply them the day after. However, I had an emergency and I have not touched it for the last few days. Is this tree still salvageable? Any assistance much appreciated...

Otherwise known as Juniperus Virginiana. Night time pic.

I was gifted a juniper bonsai for my birthday. It was fine the first few days, looked happy as can be- then it suddenly started browning like this. I have not been overwatering it, could possibly be slightly under watering it even. I put it in a place that is shaded yet gets sun. This is the pot...

Where did I go wrong with this nursery stock cutback? You can roast me, just want to learn from my mistakes :) My disclaimer is that I'm a total beginner and I only want to learn as much as I can with this tree - I have no expectation that this will become even a halfway presentable bonsai...

I have a few junipers in my balcony that get only 2 hrs of direct sunlight and indirect sunlight for the rest of the day. I have a place in my corridor recieving sizzling sunlight from about 11 - 12 pm till 4:30 pm. Just wondering if that is enough for them to thrive and grow as bonsai. Will...

I received this nursery Juniper early last fall. The individual thought it was an 8 year old Nana variety. The first picture is the before Pic while still in a nursery pot. Per some advice I cut it way back early last fall. Replanted this Spring. I lost a couple of branches which have been...

I picked up this cheap blue rug juniper from my local nursery. I am a total beginner, so I have been slowly purchasing material and experimenting. This one caught my untrained eye for two reasons: pliable trunk with movement, and potential for two separate trees. How would you go about...

I have a 71 year old Juniper (shimpaku) that was handed down to me. It is time for a repot, but I have no idea what type of soil mix to use. I'd like to mix my own but need help from everyone on the exact ingredients and amounts to use unless you can recommend a reputable brand of premixed soil...

This will be a progression/diary thread for my two Junipers. I bought these off of ebay for what I would say is a decent enoigh price (£9.50/$12.15 each) in P9 pots - if you think its not a good deal, politely keep quiet about it, it’s the best I could do and seemed reasonable to me so I’m happy...

I wanted to get this out of a nursery container this year into an Anderson flat with open substrate. Wondering if I’ve missed the window for repotting. Im in zone 7a. Any advice would be helpful!

Just finished styling this nana juniper, I think I’m going for a twin trunk approach. I would love some feedback on how I did or if there things I could improve upon.

I am not sure what species of juniper chinensis this is... If anyone knows please tell me. Here are before and after photos of the repot and wiring I did today on this tree, I made few mistakes on the wiring but I am not great at wiring yet and especially with copper. I may consider turning this...

So I got what I think is (help me ID it please) just another normal chinese Juniper at a nursery yesterday. Guy told me it has looked this way for a couple months now. I got it really cheap but with the assurance it isn't dead. I got it home in a ripped bag with exposed rooting, which is...

Hey... So have a question about 2 shimpaku's I have... Here in East TN zone 7a have been having some major temp swings this weekend.. We have been having 60 deg or higher weather during the day and the past 2 morning Sat and today Sunday the lows have been at 29 degs with freeze warnings for...

First off, I’m sorry these photos suck. I hope they’re okay enough to be useful. There’s an interesting branch (top of the trunk’s curve) that I plan on making the apex; I have it wired upwards into an S-shape already. Besides that, I’m stumped with what to do with the upper half of the tree’s...

Hi guys, I just planted this juniper in a larger pot (not pictured). How can I preserve the nebari while I grow it out? Do I need to wire the roots in some way? Thanks!
