Juniperus Squamata. It's history was posted quite some time ago on this forum. The tree came from my parents garden.
The tree has been, maybe still is, in trouble. Because of that, I've not wired / pruned it as I did not want to the extra risk. Obviously, as there was no interesting development, I've not posted updates.

So, you said you like Shari? Here's a picture I made today:

I've been trying, but work, family and other personal reasons have me tied to this place. It's also why it's so hard for me to grow trees out here. Care websites will say "full sun", or "don't water often", and I have to figure out what it means for this place. It's also why I love all the green in Auk's photos.

So, you've got a local species, suitable for bonsai!

I've tried everything from cuttings, to transplants, during all times of the year. I've taken seedlings with so much soil, that the roots never get exposed.

I've had 0 luck with these bushes. Every single one has died on me. There isn't much literature on them, but what I have found is that they do not like their roots disturbed in any way. Literally, repotting the plant stresses it to death. The one bonsai example I found was a very old plant, that died within a few years of being in a pot, for no apparent reason. To make things worse, the nearest bonsai club that would be the best resource for native plants is really tight fisted and exclusive with their info. No one really shares info. They all just brag about their trees, and try to make each other jealous.

They bushes smell amazing though. They react to moisture in the air, and give the Arizona rains a very unique smell.

Yes I love junipers and their shari. That shari looks amazing, maybe someday I'll have something like that . The reason I got into bonsai was mainly because Junipers. What people do with Junipers is just amazing, and they look beautiful, almost unrealistic, at least to my eyes. I have a book that is just about Junipers, and I am just amazed by the works people do with them.

Junepirus squamata no kidding. What I see most often is the popular Juniper Chinensis, or Procumbens and procumbens nana. I've never seen a Junepirus squamata with a good trunk at the nursery. Pretty cool.

Oh Man I've always wanted to see one of those, but i just can't pick it out (the story of my life). Yes You have shown you know how to make trees grow (i can make weeds grow). 名媛直播 is suppose to be an art form, and you are the critic (that apple tree was so pretty). No critics, are not expected to create.

Oh don't take me wrong, one of these years, i would love to have you critique my tree.

No, i didn't go through the whole thread, just the opening.

Why do you hide everything, in that mas of green?

the buckeye looks really good though, if i can find a use for mine, i'll let you know, if you show me what to do with your buckeye.

Talking about the Juniper? If you've never seen anything like that, you should Google a bit for Juniper bonsai. This really is NOT exceptional.
