Hi
Common juniper is mostly feared by bonsaist. I've heard that they are not an approriate juni for bonsai because they are almost impossible to keep alive in a pot. Is that really the case? I found this on bonsai4me:
Common Juniper/J. Communis
J. communis is the only truly native Juniper in the UK. A needle juniper with dull-green foliage, the Common Juniper has a terrible reputation for dying inexplicably 2-3 years after collection however garden centre/nursery specimens appear to be far more robust.
So it really does not look good for this juni...
Has anyone got any real exoeriences with these? Is there a specimen in your bonsai collection? Does anyone you know got it? It is probably not that common in US.
I really wanted to get this juniper but now that I've heard these terrible things, I'm not that confident. Any info on this would be much appreciated. Thanks
