Was walking around my local nursery today and came across this monster of a one gallon white owl juniper. I know they don’t make the best subject for bonsai, but for the size and price of this tree I couldn’t pass it up. If it doesn’t work out with is white owl foliage, I could approach graft Kishu, or Itoigawa foliage in the future. ( I didn’t use anything for size reference, the top branch making the leader is about as thick as my thumb.)

you will enjoy the foliage contrast with other junipers more in fall. Owl juniper makes me want to do a group forest with others.

Really cool looking trunk lines. I would have bought it as well.
