Classic Dwarf Japanese Juniper in 6" pot, djj6

6 year old Japanese Juniper Bonsai Tree, comes in 6 inch assorted containers. . This is one of our most popular Bonsai trees and makes the perfect starter tree for bonsai. As with all Japanese Junipers, they make good bonsai because of the compact foliage and ability to train the tree branches. Japanese Juniper (Juniperus Procumbens Nana) The Japanese Juniper is the most popular tree for Bonsai because of its compact foliage and ability to train branches into popular shapes. The Japanese Juniper produces tiny brown pine cones once a year and also green berries upon maturity. Requiring good indirect sunlight and moist watering conditions, the Japanese Juniper Bonsai is best suited for patios or outdoor areas. The Japanese Juniper is cold-hardy and can withstand temperatures below freezing. - Japanese Dwarf Garden Juniper - Juniperus procumbens nana General Information: This is the tree that makes a fine bonsai if it is properly trained and cared for. - This juniper has a low, spreading habit that makes it ideal for cascade and semi-cascade styles. Specimens grown in a nursery or specifically for bonsai can be used for many styles, but probably not for formal upright. In nature it grows as a small ground-cover shrub. The foliage is bright green. - Lighting: Full sun. - Temperature: Tolerates a wide range of temperatures, including freezing, however, roots must be protcted from excessive heat or cold. - Watering: Spray the foliage with water daily during the growing season. Water when the soil is moderately dry (to a depth of 1/2 to 1 inch) but do not let the soil dry out completely. - Feeding: Simon and Schuster's recommends feeding junipers from early spring to autumn ever 20-30 days using a slow-acting organic fertilizer. If you prefer to use chemical fertilizers, apply a half-strength solution every other week of a reasonably balanced fertilizer, such as Peter's 20-20-20. You may wish to alternate with an acidic fertilizer such as Miracid. You should not fertilize during the hottest part of the summer (July-mid August in the northern hemisphere), or if the tree is weak or has recently (2-4 weeks) been repotted. - Pruning and wiring: To develop the foliage, pinch out the tender new shoots using your fingers. Do not use scissors, as the cut needles will turn brown. Pinching must be done continuously during the growing season. Prune undesirable branches (especially those growing straight down from their parent branch) when repotting or during the growing season. - Wiring is best done in autumn or early winter, so that the branches can become accustomed to their new position while the tree is dormant. Wiring done at other times must be watched carefully for signs of wire cutting into the bark, and must be removed immediately if this happens. If necessary, the tree can be re-wired after removing the old wire. - Propagation: Cuttings rooted under mist, layering. Repotting Reduce the roots gradually, removing no more than one third of the roots at each repotting. Repot young trees (up to 10 years) every other year. Repot older trees every 3-4 years. Repotting is best done in spring. Be sure to use Hollow Creek Farms Double Screened Bonsai Soil and Micro Plus when repotting. Junipers can also be repotted in autumn if necessary, since they enter a period of renewed root growth at that time. Extensive root pruning in autumn is probably not a good idea, however. - The tree should be protected from wind and direct sun for a month or two after repotting.
