RARE California Juniper Shohin Size for sale

[gsdly]

This extremely rare Shohin size California Juniper was from a cutting of a large yamadori California Juniper collected in sierra California/Nevada. It then had grown in a bonsai pot for over 10 years.

The tree is about 12 inches tall, 8 inches wide and 1 inch trunk in a 7 inches unglazed pot. Because it was developed from a small branch of a collected tree, it has some unique "yamadori" features and characteristics that are different from the trained bonsais.

The tree is very healthy and started growing vigorously since last month.

Most of the California Junipers on the market are "huge". It is very hard to find a shohin one available.

PM if interested.

Ahem...

A “shohin” is 8 inches tall. There is some wiggle room in that height definition, but not 4 inches!

My understanding is less than 25 cm or 10 inches. REF: Bonsai Empire, for instance.

To confirm it’s a shohin.. measure at the base and don’t press in

My reference is Daisaku Nomoto. Vice President of the the Nippon Shohin Bonsai Association.

He says 20 cm, which is about 8 inches.

Like I said, there is “some” wiggle room. They don’t measure them with a ruler.

Certain styles, literati, for example, might get more “wiggle” than, say, a Zelkova broom.

The main thing is everything should be “in scale”, and “look like” a Shohin.

Here in the US, we’re not as good as they are in Japan, so we tend to be more lax.

Of course, there is more to “Shohin” than simply the height of the tree. Just because a rooted cutting is 8 inches or under doesn’t make it a Shohin.

I’ve had my wife fooled long enough about “8 inches”

 

[Forsoothe!]

Has anyone fallen for this yet?

 

[August44]

Ahem...is the price of this "extremely rare" gem a secret?

 

[Forsoothe!]

If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it...

 

[August44]

O, ok. I'll pay huge amounts. Now what the hell is it?

Hi, did this tree get sold? If not, I'm interested in purchasing it

surprisingly most folks here in CA graft different select cultivars of Shimpaku on to the CA junlpers and strip all native foliage. Why? They collect a good looking stump and proceed accordingly...Hah!
