Fantastic Sierra juniper at Bay Island Bonsai’s 19th annual exhibit

January 30, 2018 by Jonas Dupuich

Sierra junipers have become a favorite variety of mine in recent years. They grow vigorously and often feature deadwood with undulating movement and exciting jin.

The Members’ Choice award for large conifer at Bay Island Bonsai’s 19th annual exhibit went to a Sierra juniper. It’s a fantastic tree.
