Chinese Juniper Bonsai Tree in Royal Blue Pot | Elegant Evergreen with Soft Blue-Green Foliage
There is something wonderfully calming about this Chinese Juniper (Juniperus chinensis). At around 30 cm in height, it carries itself with quiet confidence — the kind that only comes from years of natural shaping, careful pruning and steady outdoor growth. Its trunk twists gently as it rises, revealing warm reddish flaky bark that contrasts beautifully with the cool tones of the foliage. The exposed root flare adds strength at the base, giving the whole tree a grounded, balanced look.
Holly selected the brand-new royal blue rectangular ceramic pot for this tree, and it was an inspired choice. The bright glaze lifts the juniper’s subtle bluish-green foliage, while also highlighting the textured bark and the artistry in the trunk’s movement. Together, they form a display that feels fresh, elegant and full of character.
This is the exact bonsai you will receive.
A Species with Deep Bonsai Heritage
The Chinese Juniper is one of the most iconic and treasured bonsai species in the world.
It became a household name thanks to Mr Miyagi in The Karate Kid, who famously shaped a juniper bonsai — inspiring generations of bonsai enthusiasts.
This species is admired for its:
Soft, scale-like evergreen foliage
Naturally twisty, artistic trunk structure
Beautiful reddish peeling bark that reveals age and texture
Strong resilience in varied outdoor conditions
Charming purple berries that appear as the tree matures
Because of its forgiving nature, the Chinese Juniper suits beginners beautifully. Yet it still offers the artistic potential and long-term refinement that experienced growers enjoy.
Why This Bonsai Stands Out
This particular tree has been slowly refined over many years to create a tight, compact form. Its branch structure is neat and purposeful, giving it a graceful silhouette from every angle. The movement in the trunk is natural and unforced, and the proportions between height, width and taper are especially harmonious.
If you appreciate bonsai with elegance, flow and subtle drama, this tree will feel like the perfect companion.
Caring for Your Chinese Juniper Bonsai
This species thrives outdoors all year.
Place in full sun or bright partial shade, allowing plenty of airflow.
Water when the soil begins to feel just damp — never allow it to stay wet for long periods.
As temperatures change, the foliage shifts slightly in colour, bringing even more charm through the seasons.
