JUNIPERUS SINENSIS (Chinese) - evergreen tree originating from mountains of Japan is distinguished by rich, green, cloud-like foliage emanating from flaky, grey/brown bark covered trunks which, in older specimens, can be gnarled and twisted with areas of naturally occurring, exposed driftwood.

The most common variety used in bonsai is Sargentii but Aurea, Japonica, Kaizuka and Pyramidalis are also used.

STYLE: All styles except broom

WARNING : Pot grown plants can shed branches as the tree does naturally in the wild. If extending shoots are left uncut then inner foliage will die off, spoiling the overall shape.
