I bought this from Shibui 4 years ago and this is how it looks like now.

I've just turned on Ausbonsai and found another photo of another one of my babies :)

You've managed to build up those foliage pads really nicely in the time you've had it. Just shows what a bit of dedicated care can do :tu:
I think the wild, random movement of the trunks and branches looks good on these junipers and I think you've used the material really well.

Looking good.
Pot a bit big perhaps?

Thank you. It will definitely go to a smaller pot later on. For the meantime, ill leave it with that pot to quickly grow.

Nice pjames,
Clearly you and junipers are good mates!
Might be time now to get on to that smaller pot you were talking about...?
Very nicely grown.
:yes:

Yep, “bl@@dy good” is the technical bonsai term for this tree.


Bonsai teaches me patience.

Thank you :) I have an oval pot for it and hopefully it will fit the tree well.

Just repotted this Shimpaku to a smaller pot. I have to cut some big roots from the nebari to fit it in. It needs a haircut later this year.
