Expert Comment from Bonsai Advisor Sarah
“I think this particular 15-year-old Evergreen Bonsai is absolutely stunning. I love the beautiful width-to-height ratio, giving it a grounded, mature presence. The structure is naturally short and wide-spreading, with elegant, balanced branches that create a serene, open canopy. The aged, flaking bark adds authentic character and a sense of age that only time can create.
The neat, compact foliage and graceful twist of the trunk are simply sublime — every detail reflects skilled cultivation and thoughtful styling. A top-quality Chinese Juniper bonsai with uncluttered design and real artistic harmony.”
Natural Beauty Paired with Timeless Bonsai Qualities
The Chinese Juniper is one of the most cherished hardy evergreens in bonsai. Its scale-like foliage remains vibrant throughout the year, offering structure and interest in every season. Because this species adapts to a wide range of climates, it thrives outdoors in the UK and rewards growers with dependable strength and resilience.
With training, Junipers take on many traditional bonsai forms. This tree already displays impressive trunk flow, intricate branching and a canopy that feels peaceful, airy and beautifully three-dimensional. Its design highlights meticulous craftsmanship and decades of combined growth and styling.
Symbolism and Meaning
Chinese Junipers carry deep cultural meaning. They symbolise strength, longevity and protection, which makes them especially valued by collectors who appreciate both beauty and deeper significance. Their ability to withstand challenging conditions further enhances their symbolism of resilience and spiritual balance.
A Compact Tree with Mature Presence
Although modest in height, this bonsai feels grand. The aged bark, elegant branches and intricate details create the illusion of a far larger tree. It perfectly expresses how powerful and captivating small-sized bonsai can be when styled with expertise.

| Species | Chinese Juniper (Juniperus chinensis)A bonsai favourite. This wonderful evergreen bonsai has it all – naturally small foliage, incredible character throughout the trunk and branches, it’s evergreen and has beautiful flaky bark. The juvenile foliage of the juniper is spiky but as it matures soft ‘pads’ of foliage are formed. The juniper responds very well to training by pruning and wiring. Please be careful to check the wire weekly to prevent scaring. Junipers will tolerate a very sunny position and like to be kept on the dry side, in a free draining soil. Very hardy. |

| Maintenance | Keep your Chinese Juniper outdoors all year in a bright, airy position where it can enjoy plenty of natural light. Water it only when the soil begins to dry, avoiding both drought and constant wetness. The soil should be damp and not soggy. Feed weekly during the growing season to support healthy, vibrant foliage. Trim new shoots little and often to refine the pads and maintain its elegant shape. In winter, protect it from excessive wet by placing it in a sheltered but fully outdoor spot. |
