I found a really nice finished shimpaku tree for sale at auction. It's been living in California, 20 years old, styled by a bonsai master and expensive to buy.
I am located in Phoenix, AZ area, hot and dry. And I've never owned this type juniper, I have the procumbens and blue star and they do ok. But I've heard Shimpaku variety of Juniper isn't as tolerant of our dry heat. The phoenix bonsai society said they don't do well here, and the grafted ones do better, but I dont believe this one is grafted.
Anyone own a Shimpaku in Arizona or Text or somewhere with a lot of dry heat can share their experience? Should I go for it?
I'll be setting up shade cloth enclosure this summer.
