Collected Shohin sized Ashe juniper

[Big Country Bonsai]

I’m not usually one for the smaller bonsai but when I saw this small tree while out scouting I had to have it! There’s lots of small juniper out where I collected this but very few with the great deadwood and character that this one has. Combine that with the movement it possesses and I think we have a pretty nice tree!

Hmmm….You sure that tree is going to be alive next month?

I’m expecting it to be. Not sure if it had a much better chance of surviving for long where it was so I figured no harm in giving it a go.

It’s looking a little rough but I’ve collected a couple small Junipers that looked the same and they did well.
Nice tree.

Did this tree live?

Unfortunately it didn’t. Maybe partly because it wasn’t super healthy to begin with and maybe my aftercare wasn’t the greatest.
