Product Description
Shimpaku Chinese Juniper Bonsai - Juniperus chinensis 'Shimpaku' A very dwarf spreading upright Chinese Juniper. Used extensively for Bonsai. Dark green foliage that is on short branches with bunches of leaves. Nice when used as a formal upright in Bonsai due to the horizontal stems getting massive bunches of leaves. Height and spread in 10 years: 3' x 6'. Prefers sun. Hardy in zones 5-9. In cooler regions grow as a house plant in a sunny, yet cool window. What defines "dwarf" and "miniature"? Dwarf varieties grow one to six inches per year. Miniature varieties grow less than one inch per year. These plants are more valuable because they grow so slow. They can be used as: Bonsai, Rock Gardens, Trough Gardens, Patio Containers, and even Garden Railways. The Bonsai Starter plant you will receive is growing in a 3" pot. It is about 4" tall and branched nicely.
