juniper

I currently only have three shohin sized Juniper chinensis. I may get more in the future if I spot something nice at the right size and price. Here is my shohin literati. I got it in 2014 and grew it to make sure it was healthy. In 2015 I wired the whole tree like this. After it had grown like...

So I haven't messed w/ many junipers, other than a couple $8 dollar ones from Home Depot. I bought this guy at the club auction in September. At the time it was extremely cascading... like straight down, even the foliage pads were vertical. It was strange and I don't know what the owner was...

Hello everyone. I'm fairly new to bonsai and have some questions regarding my tree. I have a juniper, I believe. I was out of town last week and when I left for vacation my tree seemed perfectly healthy and green. I've had the tree for about four years and it's been pretty hardy and not too...

Hi all, new to the forum. I have a couple of wonderful itoigawa shimpaku that I bought as raw material from Boon way back when. They are now healthily residing in the PNW. Going to do some maintanence pruning this spring and was wondering about rooting the clippings. I've always heard that...

Hello, i am a newbie to bringing my trees indoors in west michigan during winter. i realized that i have been making Bonsai's for many years, they just have been in the ground their whole life. I potted a prize ERC , White Pine, and Norway Spruce 18 months ago and they are very vibrant!. i...

I got this juniper in May of 2014 it was taken from the ground styled and repotted. It grew good and this summer it went from living on the coast to the valley. Which was much hotter and dryer, but I watered it on a regular basis and kept my liquid fertilizer routine. About a month ago once the...

Hi, I am new to bonsai and found a local nursery owner who has a large number of old variegated junipers. They have beautiful trunks and nice curves, but they were crowded in together and have long spindly branches. The issue is that I don't know how hard it will be to get back budding. How long...

Extremely new to Bonsai here but very excited and really trying to get some things going here before winter sets in. Here’s where the weather issue comes in. I live in Northern utah (zone 5 I guess?)where hot and dry summers are coupled with bitter winters that are also very dry. I have one...

Hi all! A gentleman I work with piqued my interest in the art of bonsai when he started talking about growing some giant sequoias the other day. I admittedly got pretty excited and ordered myself a pair of Sequoia Sempervirens with the hopes of making my own mini redwood forest at home without...

Hey folks! I just purchased this Juniper nursery stock over at the San Gabriel Nursery out in Southern California. I looked around and they did have a large selection of amazing bonsai that ranged from $45.00-$50,000+. Apparently, they had been robbed a few years back of some of their most...

I'm new to bonsai and new to this site. I've been purchasing nursery stock plants as pre-bonsai locally but have been having a hard time finding anything suitable or of significant enough size to do anything with. I'm being patient and trying to grow out some of these plants. Recently I found...

I was thinking about making the large branch on the left the apex and give the tree more movement, or encourage growth of one of the middle branches and keep the apex low and broad and jin the left branch. I was also considering grafting shimpaku. Any suggestions are appreciated.

On these Junis, i have noticed that the growing tips seems to be the color the whole trees foliage is supposed to look like, which last season i had the color. Kinda nervous, any help would be awsome...ty 1st my Kishu...have had it almost a year Next a cutting i have had for a...

I'm just getting into Bonsai and recently received a Juniper Procumbens Nana as a gift. I know they like a lot of sun. Currently the tree gets about 5 hours a day because of where it is located. Is this enough sun light or should I shoot for something higher like 6+ hours a day?

Hi all! New to the forum and also to the exciting and befuddling world of bonsai. I have had an interest in the hobby for many years and have killed my fair share of trees due to many rookie mistakes (poor soil quality, trying to keep junipers indoors etc.). I recently purchased a juniper that...

I collected this juniper growing about 200 feet from my back door. At first I assumed that it was a squirrel plant from J. Communis seed I collected a few years ago, but now that I have handled it the junipers looking and feeling :eek: more like J. rigida, the Japanese Needle Juniper. Either...

Hello all! I'm here in a desperate cry for help! I've had 5 bonsai over two years and have killed 2 already (they were Serissas from Bonsai Boy). Now, I'm afraid my Satsuki Azalea is next!! If anyone could lend me some aid, I can answer any question about how I currently treat all of my trees...

April 16 2014 A friend was moving out of his condo and wanted to get rid of this juniper, The pot it was in was HUGE! It almost killed me getting it out of the car alone and repotting it. I sort of trimmed it a couple weeks later, mistake 1: sort of trimming it. I should have cut it back...

Hello! I am new to Bonsai, and i just bought this juniper! It came with this pot, and i know i have to re pot it because of the sticking-out baby roots. After that, i'll wait a month to fertilize it with 10:10:10 solution because of the summer coming. It is about 3 years old, do you guys...

Is this bad? Ive never seen it before. When I rub it off it looks like it has been eating the bark. Do I burn the tree?

2nd Tree I styled beginning to be one of my favorite trees!

is anyone selling a kishu variety cutting in Europe?

Just bought this juniper and wired the trunk a bit. Should I prune it and if so, how? Techiniques? Should I let it grow for a while and not touch it? I am new to bonsai and am eager to learn. It's got a bunch of new growth but the branches are long on one side and short on the other...I just...

I bought this sometime around December 2010. I wired it up in the windswept style, looking back it has so many lols. I was so proud of it at the time. Here it is a year ago tomorrow. I can't seem to find any pics between the five years in between these pics. It under went numerous changes...
