Welcome to the Juniper Bonsai Tree Page!

Juniper bonsai trees live in regions of the world that get four seasons. They need dormancy or a rest period to stay healthy and grow. Most of the junipers found in North America grow in cold climates. The Common Juniper, Juniperus communis grows as far north as Greenland, Newfoundland, and northwest Alaska.

This dwarf Juniper from Japan is the most popular evergreen in the U.S. When we think of a traditional bonsai and what it should look like - we think of a in.Juniper Procumbens Nana. It is very hardy - long - lived - and tolerates many adverse conditions. This is an excellent tree for the beginner.


If you’ve made the mistake of keeping a juniper indoors for any length of time, moving it outside in the winter is fatal. You can't take a cold weather species of plant like a juniper bonsai tree and treat it like a Ficus or an African Violet and expect it to thrive and be healthy. Keep your Juniper bonsai tree outdoors.

They are hardy and long-lived and tolerate many adverse conditions. Popular and Unique. 5 years old-8" tall.

Juniper-Stone Landscape Scene with Fishing Pole

Juniper-Stone Landscape Scene with Fishing Pole

The rocks selected for this unusual arrangement are imported and washed in acid making them strikingly unique. We then cut and cement the rocks to one side of the pot - leaving an ample well between them to hold water. A ceramic bridge is cemented to the rocks on either side. A pagoda figurine is also added and cemented to the stone located above the bridge. To complete the scene - we cement a miniature - glazed - mud figurine fisherman overlooking the water - clutching a fishing pole proudly displaying the newly caught fish at the end of his line. On the opposite side of this restful scene - we have selected for planting - the ever popular Juniper bonsai. The entire landscape is arranged in an attractive - glazed - imported ceramic container. - 6 years old - 9in. - 11in. tall
