Took some pics of a few crazy Junipers today while on the road. The quality isn't the best because the pics were taken from about a 1/4 mile away but here ya go
A few New Mexico Junipers in the wild.

Nice. Dig em up.
Oh I wish lol! Problem is, their probably 15" tall, several hundreds of years old, and have roots that go on for days. I wish I could put them in my yard though

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

If its anything like Ca Juniper hunting you will need to walk several miles just to find one small enough and nice enough to dig. This would be a good time of year to dig one up.

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!!!Aaron

Fifteen inches too big
If these were only 15 inches I'd already have them at my house
No doubt they'd be show stoppers!

Atta' boy, wake and bake yo'self!!!!
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 what I give Aaron

Nice stuff! I have a slew of yamadori that are on this scale in the rocky mountains. They might be 15" tall too
