California Juniper with Shimpaku foliage

[chicago1980]

Anyone familiar with a nursery adding Shimpaku grafts to Cali Juniper trunks?

 

[Adair M]

I don't know of a nursery doing it. Bonsai pros and amateurs to it.

Roy Nagatoshi does it a lot.

I've grafted Kishu onto a Western Juniper.

Like Adair M's statement, Roy Nagatoshi who owns Fuji bonsai nursery http://fourseasonsbonsai.com/pages/nagatoshi.html has been performing a lot of shimpaku grafted California junipers.

It's not uncommon - there were quite a few such specimens at the GSBF convention last year . . . like this one: Golden State Bonsai Federation 2015 Show
