JUNIPER TREES AS BONSAI

One of the most popular varieties of bonsai would have to be the Juniper.

These trees are so easy to work with in any aspect of bonsai and create beautiful trees in a very short period of time.

For a beginner in particular Juniper can be the perfect variety to begin with as learning on these trees is easy due to the nature of them. They grow relatively vigorously are easy to shape and wire, and general care is minimal.

I have several juniper in my collection and caring for them is pretty straight forward.

I have outlined some of the basic care instructions for Juniper bonsai here.

JUNIPER BONSAI

DESCRIPTION:

One of my favourite species as bonsai would have to be the Juniper.

No bonsai collection is complete without at least one of these beautiful trees.

Most species of Juniper naturally lend themselves well to most styles of Japanese bonsai.

With compact growth, fine foliage and branches that can usually be bent and twisted easily, they are a great choice especially for the beginner.

Care needs to be taken when wiring not to damage soft bark by too much twisting, and needles can be prickly so gloves may be needed when handling.
