Catalogue Note

Informal upright (Moyogi) style. This tree was cultivated from the time it was a sapling. Curvature was created by a bonsai designer, but the tree’s appearance remains organic and natural. Once potted, the tree was sculpted by a designer in a unique Japanese style. The cultivation of Juniper has had a long history in Japan.

Junipers enjoy moist environments, so it is important to keep the soil moist.
