juniper

Does anyone know any nurseries that carry Junipers and Pines in Seattle? Thank you for your advice!

Context: At the time of this first post, I’m still relatively inexperienced in bonsai and especially with conifers. I obtained this double-trunk Itoigawa pre-bonsai at a club workshop on 02 FEB 2025 - it was in a 2-gallon nursery container but appeared to have been slip-potted at least once...

Hello everyone! I recently tried my hand at bonsai making by restyling a nursery stock juniper. Comments and suggestions are welcome! I am very new so I'd love to improve. I was originally going to let the trunk grow out more before I started, but I just grew too impatient lol. Some questions...

I have a few questions about my recently acquired trees. For context i live in Nashville Tennessee Zone 7b current soil temps are around 46F i acquired a juniper procumbens nana from bonsai boy in NY. I have tested the soil and recieved a ph of 5 is this low for this species? if it is should I...

The other day I picked up my first juniper from a local bonsai nursery. Said he believed it was grey owl juniper but wasn’t 100% sure. The trunk looked good and i thought with some love and deadwood it could be cool. I really liked the color of the foliage and they gave me a good deal on this...

I'm looking for a large RMJ or Sierra Juniper. Hit me up. Dai size or bigger is preferable. Many thanks! * I'm located in SoCal.

I'll start with this one. A $4 rescue from the clearance rack. I don't remember the cultivar, but the new growth gets a nice yellow color. It's been in the ground for about 3 years now. It's healthy and vigorous, and it seems to be ready for work. Is it worth trying? I planted it over a stone...

hey, what does reddish bark means when ur tryna air layer a juniper? it also appears that theres roots under the part i air layered.

I have just got my first juniper on December 17th and i did not know how to take care of it, apparently i have to keep it outside all the time, but the temperature gets down to 21f and im just scared to put it outside, and then I have checked the soil and its moist for the most part, so im...

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...
