Juniper Bonsai with Natural Deadwood (Jin & Shari) – Compact Alpine Composition – 16 cm

⸻

Elegant and characterful Juniper bonsai, cultivated and styled to evoke the rugged appearance of an ancient alpine tree shaped by wind and time.

This specimen immediately stands out for its powerful trunk, measuring approximately 7 cm at the base, combined with an expressive structure rich in natural deadwood (jin and shari). The sinuous deadwood rises dynamically above the foliage, creating strong visual movement and a striking sense of age and survival.

The overall composition follows a naturalistic informal style with semi-cascade and windswept influences, typical of junipers growing on rocky mountain slopes. The living veins are clearly visible and contrast beautifully with the pale, weathered deadwood, enhancing the tree’s dramatic character.

The foliage is dense, healthy, and compact, with well-defined pads arranged to create depth and balance. The canopy develops horizontally, giving the bonsai a low, wide silhouette that reinforces its mature and alpine appearance.

The tree is planted in an elegant rectangular glazed bonsai pot with a subtle crackle finish, perfectly proportioned to the composition and enhancing the natural tones of both foliage and deadwood. The surface is enriched with moss, adding realism and a refined finishing touch.

This bonsai is ideal for collectors seeking a compact yet expressive juniper, already rich in character and suitable for further refinement or immediate display.
