Description from the seller
For sale, a magnificent and expressive specimen of Juniperus Procumbens 'Nana' (Japanese dwarf juniper) prepared with the professional Tanuki technique (Phoenix Graft), which involves artistically integrating the living plant with natural dry wood added to the composition.
This model stands out for its dramatic, 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 merges and gracefully entwines around a sculpted piece of dry wood that extends sinuously outward and downward. The deadwood shows deep grain and a weathered appearance, creating a perfect contrast with the compact green of the needles.
• The Design: The crown develops laterally to form a dense, healthy "plateau" of foliage, 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 5 cm trunk base.
Technical Specifications
• Species: Juniperus Procumbens 'Nana'
• Style: Tanuki (Phoenix graft with added dry wood)
• Trunk Width (base): 5 cm
• Tree Height: 20 cm
• Crown Width: 37 cm
• Pot: Terracotta-colored plastic cultivation pot, round, (dimensions 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 transplanted in a handcrafted ceramic bonsai pot in the future to further elevate its artistic value.
Cultivation Notes
This is an evergreen outdoor bonsai, extremely hardy, robust, and resistant to cold climates. It favors full sun and very well-drained soils. The added dry wood has already been treated and preserved. It represents an excellent choice for both experienced collectors and enthusiasts who enjoy pinching and defining the foliar shoots.
Shipping and Packaging
We guarantee professional, top-level packaging. The pot and the special lateral extension of the dry wood will be blocked and protected separately inside the package, ensuring the composition arrives at its destination perfectly intact. Fast and fully trackable shipping.
