Juniperus Communis, shohin

Not all bonsai takes forever to create .
This tiny Juniper is an yamadori from Sweden, I pulled it out of a cliff, in the summer 5 years ago, it was then 150 m. tall, now 17 cm. It was planted in a small pot right from the start.

Kind regards Yvonne

hi yvonne,

very nice little tree
don't you meet any problems with this specy(juneperus communis)

I like yours trees

That looks healthy.

- what kind of soil do you use.
- And what kind of fertilizer use.
Gr, Jeffrey

Hi
Soil is allmost allways a mixture of one pot cocopeat, and one pot lecapearls.
To this sort of plant, do I use a plain fluid unorganic fertiliser from the supermarket....like 6 - 2 - 4
To other plants I may use other fertilisers.

Kind regards Yvonne

Many thanks...
I have no problem with this tree, or other juniperus species....they are all having their roots cut back, and is transplanted every year, they responce very well to everything I do with/to them.

Kind regards Yvonne

I really like the second picture. It is, I think, a much better front for the little tree.

you also have pictures from 2005.

Interesting Yvonne,

coco peat and leca pearls [ looks like the expanded fired clay used years ago for hydroponics, I see Morten Albek speaks of them in his article on soil and transplanting -

Thanks for showing.

Beautiful shohin! Not to be a nit-picker, but surely there is a decimal missing in the 150 m original height of the tree. That would make it the tallest tree in the world (previously a California coastal redwood at 115 m)!

Dear Jeffrey
I took a photo of a photo. This is 2007.

also see here the leaves look very healthy.
Good job for this Communis.
Gr Jeffrey

Oh.What's a nice tree. Please tell me What is the kind of the this tree. Thanks.

Juniperus communis is the name of this tree. In English we call it common Juniper. It is the most common tree in the world. It is found all over the temperate parts of the Northern Hemisphere. There is a variety in North America called depressa, but it does not seem to be as good for bonsai.
Iris

Common as it is, still a very nice tree.

Hi Neil

Many thanks for your kind words.....even though the name is common, do I not think it is commeon as shohin. I have never seen one....It will be funny if members will post photos of trees, of this species.

Kind regards Yvonne

If you Google on Juniperus communis shohin, you will find a few, starting with one by Morten Albek (who else?). There are a couple others from Europe.
Iris

Thanks Irish

Yes, No need to keep this topik alive with new photos.
Unless someone would like to share resent photos.

But also a most impressive achievement, creating a shohin from it!!

Yvonne.

I have seen your tree now in real life by Noelander, much better than the picture.

Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey

Many thanks for words, I am happy you liked the tree.
It could have been fun to talk to you at Noelanders...maybe next year.
If you have a photo of you, then please send it to my e-mail...I like to see your face.

Kind regards Yvonne
