I bought this sometime around December 2010. I wired it up in the windswept style, looking back it has so many lols. I was so proud of it at the time.
Here it is a year ago tomorrow. I can't seem to find any pics between the five years in between these pics. It under went numerous changes...
Hello Everyone!
So, I currently live in San Diego but went back home for vacation in LA for a while and took my bonsai with me. About a week after my return to San Diego, I began to notice weird brown spots on the new leaves of my bonsai. They could be wiped of with my nail but I started to...
And my first bonsai. (Note to mods: I wasn't sure if I should post this here since I'm a noob or in the Juniper forum since it's about a Juniper. I will not be offended if you move it or suggest a better decision.)

This is how my fourth Shimpaku looked when acquired in May 2016. (My fence was in progress!)
I paid $85 for it in a silent auction and felt good about what I paid. The trunk has a 2.25" diameter above a strong basal flare. I started pruning and found the tree was well overgrown, in sandy loam...

Hi guys does anyone have any complete article on how to properly prune a needle juniper? I have read in the resources a simple and easy guide on how to prune a scale juniper to make pads and i was wondering if there is the same article on needle juniper? thank you
I have a juniper that I have been taking care of for a year. It was my brother's, and he passed away last year,so keeping it alive is important to me. Last year I repotted it. I have a moisture meter to know when to water it. I have fertilized it. An entire branch has lost it's needles. Help
I'll lead off with a couple of photos to hook you, and then I'll fill in the gaps ;)

Back in May I acquired this Juniper. It's one of the vigorous varieties of J. chinensis, most likely Prostrata. When I got it, there were a lot of brown tips and dead spots, but it...
Today I finally picked up my first bonsai tree which is a 7 year old Juniper (not sure the exact species) and it looks great! I have done a ton of research and it seems that the more I search, the more questions I have. Any advice on Juniper care helps a ton considering there isn't much of a...
Looking for some help with my juniper.
Personal Info:
I have been practicing bonsai for only a season, but I got bit by the bug pretty hard. I have several trees, some bonsai, but mostly pre-bonsai. I have masters degree in biomolecular science, so I understand the basic biological processes...
last fall, I purchased this old gold from a nursery and hard pruned it, last week I pruned the root ball and planted it inside a trainer pot with bonsai soil. Comments, suggestions, input?
Hey guys, first post here I'm new to the world of bonsai I created this one last night out of a green mound juniper suggestions are welcome. Also have a question about winter since I am from Wisconsin I know these are fine if they are buried in the ground but being potted in a pot the roots will...
Okay so went to my new place last night and the back yard is over grown in the corners and back side. Wanted to see if any of you would try to save some of this. I'm still new so not sure what can and can't be used. And some of this looks way to mature and over grown.
There are also 2 yews...
I went out yesterday and bought this juniper and did a little pruning on it but I didn't want to get too carried away without asking for some advice...

Hello,
I'm new to bonsai but not to plants. I like to do a lot with medicinal herbs. Every year my mother and I go to this greenhouse that specializes in those sorts of things. While we were there we stopped at another greenhouse that was nearby that does various plants that you don't find...
Just bought a juniper from homedepot today. It cost about $9. Along with 2 other plants but I will post them elsewhere. I figured it would be a good chance to practice some pruning and wiring techniques and I won't be too upset if I end up killing it or it looks terrible, but you have to start...
For those of us that have procumbens (nana) junipers, why don't we all share some pics? I've seen a bunch in the forums, but I thought it would be helpful to have a thread to share info and pics with each other.
I recently picked up a couple Green Mound junipers. I thought they were just a...
First timer here! We've had this Juniper for several months now (see attached pics). We keep it outside (southeast USA temps). It has been quickly turning brown! Not enough water? Too much water? Disease? Thanks for your help!

I started out with three very, very similar junipers in one container hanging down in three different directions. They all basically looked like this about 2-3 three years ago. Just all straight with no movement.
After deciding how to make them all look different. And facing the fact that the...
