This gallery is a continuation of our series of species specific galleries designed with the intention of creating a resource of inspiration as well as a source of enjoyment for all.

It is our hope that those who favor the particular species featured and those who seek inspiration for designing bonsai of this species will find these galleries valuable and educational.

Cultivars offer foliage color ranging from dark green, to light green, to blue, each offering varying degrees of texture, presenting the ability to create fantastic foliage pads, while the bark presents a surface that can be polished or left rough, depending on the final image desired.

Suitability for many styles including deadwood, supple branches, and a propensity for fast growth, the Juniper has proved to be excellent material for all, no matter what experience level.
