Are there any smaller ones? Could you get permission somehow to dig. Do they respond well to bonsai cultivation?

In this area there is probably a 20 mile stretch of road loaded with these Junipers! Granted, not all of them are as gnarly as the ones I took pics of but their out there. As far as how well they respond to Bonsai cultivation goes, honestly IDK, I haven't tried it yet. YET:)

What type of Juniper? Never heard of New Mexico Juniper. Are these Utah Junipers?

They do respond the bonsai cultivation well. The pics are of a juniperus monosperma, which in my experience has nearly as dense of foliage as shimpaku, at least the lady's do;) the boys tens to have some coarse growth. They are also the second deepest rooted tree on the planet!!!

Atta' boy, wake and bake yo'self!!!!:D:D:D:D:D
:p:p I normally don't wake and bake because I'm an early bird, normally up and about by 5. If I smoke, the lady smells it and wakes up (she's not a morning person) so I generally wait until she wakes up :rolleyes: what I give :p:p
