AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale a magnificent and expressive specimen of Juniperus Procumbens 'Nana' (Japanese Dwarf Juniper) set with the professional Tanuki technique (Phoenix graft), which involves the artistic integration of the living tree with natural dry wood added to the composition.
This model stands out for its dramatic and dynamic cascading (Kengai) or semi-cascading stance, ideal for those seeking a piece with strong visual impact and a wild character.
Craftsmanship and Aesthetics
• The Tanuki Technique: The living vein of the juniper blends and winds gracefully around a sculpted dry wood that extends sinuously outward and downward. The dead wood shows deep grain and a weathered, aged appearance, creating a perfect contrast with the compact green of the needles.
• The Design: The crown develops laterally forming a dense and healthy "plateau" of vegetation, then projects downward with a main branch that emphasizes the cascading movement.
• Trunk and Proportions: With a compact height of 20 cm and a substantial crown width of 37 cm, the plant expresses great maturity and visual stability, balanced by a solid trunk base of 5 cm.
Technical Specifications
• Species: Juniperus Procumbens 'Nana'
• Style: Tanuki (Phoenix graft with added dry wood)
• Trunk Width (at base): 5 cm
• Tree Height: 20 cm
• Crown Width: 37 cm
• Pot: Terracotta-colored plastic cultivation pot, round, 16 x 16 x 11 cm.
• Plant Condition: The specimen is in excellent health. It is ready to be displayed and cultivated as is to thicken the crown, or it can be destined for a future repot into a handcrafted ceramic bonsai pot to further elevate its artistic value.
Cultivation Notes
It is an evergreen outdoor bonsai that is extremely hardy, robust, and resistant to cold climates. It loves full sun positions and very well-drained soils. The added dry wood is already treated and preserved. It represents an excellent choice for both experienced collectors and enthusiasts who want to enjoy pinching and defining the foliar fronds.
Shipping and Packaging
We guarantee professional, top-level packaging. The pot and the particular lateral extension of the dry wood will be securely blocked and protected individually inside the package, ensuring the composition arrives at its destination perfectly intact. Fast and fully traceable shipping.
