juniper

Hello! I'm pretty new to bonsai and after my JBP died, I did more research on proper care, and went grabbed some more, including this chinese juniper, along with chinese elm and larch. Today I decided to give it a good clean up as it's pretty overgrown (first image), it's my first time to...

I have been thinking about how to style this Juniperus Communis "gold", but I am unable to find a solution. So, my initial thoughts are; - Since the foliage is somehow coarse and droopy, I guess a relatively taller tree will be better than a small compact one. - The trunk base at the bottom is...

Hey all! I’ve posted about this tree before, with a ton of help received (thank you!). I did a repot on this about a month ago, and so far it’s been sprouting new growth and looking good, however I have noticed a bit of yellowing here and there and some dried out/pale internal foliage that’s...

All of a sudden over the last two weeks my Juniper has started looking ill. It gets watered as usual. It gets fed every other week. I think it wants to be repotted as it looks like it’s crawling out of its pot. I think I need to repot it. I need to use the same pot as I don’t have a new one...

Hello all. I recently acquired this beautiful little twin trunk Shimpaku Juniper. I did a repot on it about 6 days ago (later in the season than I’d like but it was bricked up pretty good). I was gentle as could be and I kept the roots mostly intact with about 20% total removal of the feeder...

Picked this juniper up a few weeks ago, came from a guy who had it for 7 years but never styled it himself, he said he couldn’t figure out what to do with it. I believe it was probably styled before he got it as it had some really good bones to work with. Here’s what I started with. I decided...

Got a project I’ve been working on but now I need the space so this needs to go. “The Cobra” 19” canopy 17 from soil to top Wired but not adjusted the branches, good nebari developing. Trunk a little over an inch at the first branch, good deadwood needs lime sulfur still. $500 plus shipping...

I repotted this Procum. Juniper about 3 weeks ago the week before we had an awful hail storm here in North Texas. Golf ball size. The browning is at lots of the tips on the canopy. You can see some new growth next to dead tips/broken branches. Scratch test shows super green everywhere.. Ive...

I have recently acquired two junipers from a local nursery with 3-4 inches of trunk thickness and I am thinking of doing the final styling without further development. My first step will be checking the nebari and transferring them to training pots. Then in autumn, I will make a small amount...

Hi all. Although I've been interested in bonsai making for a long time, I have recently got more serious into the hobby. I read a lot of documents, watched several videos and got a bit confused about best soil mix for trunk development in a pot, specifically for junipers. Is it wise to leave...

Hello all! In a few days, I'll be putting this Gold Star Juniper into the basket it is sitting in most likely doing some root work in the process. I'm wondering if: 1. Is it okay if I do any pre-styling on this? 2. Any styling tips/advice for this particular plant? I'm worried if I leave as...

I'm new to bonsai, I have around twenty trees but have only started bonsai this year so my experience is minimal. I recently bought what is claimed to be a shimpaku juniper online and encountered something I've never seen before, and from what I've researched, is due to an unhealthy root system...

Hi! New to bonsai especially to juniper in the UK. I had this for 2 years - put in a pond basket last Spring. It is vigorous but not sure how to take this further. It does not seem to have a lot surface roots and the flakey bark seems not pursued with junipers unlike pines. Please advice.

My new birthday gift, glued rocks and all ; ) Beautiful little juniper tree.

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...
