Blue Pom
Which conifers look like giant bonsai?
I’m pretty sure what I’m looking for is a type of juniper: about 3-4 feet tall, large naturally twisted trunk, dark green scaled needles…when pruned correctly look like big bonsai.
The only things I can find for sale around here are blue rug, blue star, and something called “pom pom” — but the pom pom has straight limbs/trunk. I have exactly what I’m looking for in my front yard, but I’m moving so I have to leave it behind…sad.
Anyone know what kind of tree/shrub I’m supposed to be buying here? Much thanks in advance!
The juniper that is commonly used for bonsai is the juniperus chinensis ‘green mound’. Take a look at my website:
http://www.american-bonsai.com and on the products page, there is a ‘quick find’ box. Enter “green mound” and it will show you some of the trees. Also you can do a search for “shimpaku” juniper.
