PLEASE NOTE: If you purchase any bonsai on this page, you will receive the bonsai in the photo, not a look-alike.

Dwarf Japanese Junipers will do well indoors and flourish outdoors.   If kept indoors, they MUST get at least a few hours a day of DIRECT sunlight, and MUST be kept in a cooler than room temperature location in winter.  Our "Tip of The Week" #19 lists a few ways to do this.

My first bonsai was a Dwarf Japanese Juniper.  Since 1976, I have sold tens of thousands of bonsai.  I would estimate that half or more of these have been Dwarf Japanese Juniper.  Considering that I have a list of nearly 200 cultivars that I have offered for sale over the years, that is a startling amount.  The reason is that the Dwarf Japanese Juniper looks like most peoples idea of what a bonsai is.  In addition, It is strong, relatively pest free, easy to care for, readily available, and adapts to a wide variety of conditions.   For information on winter requirements, see "Tip of The Week" # 17, 18, & 19.
