- Section 10 -- JUNIPERS
-
- The Juniper is one of the most recognised bonsai specimens and
- is frequently the first bonsai purchase many newcomers make.
- Junipers do make very fine bonsai, and although they are not
- 'difficult' bonsai to manage, they are frequently 'mistreated'
- and therefore do not last long. We have gotten LOTS of
- questions about brown junipers', and what 'first aid' you might
- give them. Well, we hate to break the news to you, but, if you
- have a brown juniper, it is probably dead. Don't get too
- depressed, even the best have lost a tree..or 5..or 10. The
- most common mistakes made with junipers are over watering, AND
- lack of sufficient sunlight. Junipers are outdoor trees, so
- if you have no way to grow them outside, find some nice person
- that knows about bonsai, and can give it a good home. If you
- want to try a juniper anyway, make sure it gets plenty of sun,
- don't over water it, and make sure it gets plenty of air.
