Description from the seller

COLLECTION MASTERPIECE: JUNIPER COMPOSITION WITH SPECTACULAR ANCIENT JIN WOOD

For sale a magnificent Juniperus bonsai specimen in Kifu style, characterized by a unique color and structural contrast. As widely documented by the complete photo set (from image_41.png to image_50.png), this plant blends the strength of a mature trunk with the drama of an airborne sculpture in finely worked dry wood, ideal for collectors and exhibitions.

The true focal point of this specimen is the incredible movement of the dry wood (Jin). In macro details (visible from image_46.png to image_50.png), one can appreciate the deep, twisted, and grooved veins of ancient wood that rises above the crown, perfectly reproducing the action of natural elements on mountain peaks. The living part responds with exceptional vigor: the serrated crown is dense, extremely healthy, and distributed on compact branches that reach a lateral span of 35 cm (image_41.png, image_42.png). The plant’s nebari (stocky base) is solid and enriched with attractive fresh moss and a decorative rock that enhances its natural flavor (image_44.png, image_45.png).

DIMENSIONS AND TECHNICAL DETAILS:
• Base trunk diameter: 5 cm (Excellent taper and dramatic presence)
• Total plant height: 28 cm (Perfect harmony for the Kifu category)
• Overall crown width: 35 cm (Healthy, beautifully shaped branches)
• Pot dimensions: 6 x 12 x 17 cm
• Pot type: Dark brown/black rectangular pot, sober and elegant, chosen specifically to highlight the warm tones of the dry wood and the vivid green of the vegetation.

HEALTH STATUS AND DETAILS:
- Iron health: Foliage clean, compact and pest-free, in full vegetative growth.
- Substrate carefully drenched with meticulous moss finish (image_45.png).

SHIPPING AND PROFESSIONAL RIGID PACKAGING:
Ultra-fast, trackable, and 100% insured shipping within Italy and Europe with an express courier.
Given the peculiarity of the aerial dry wood branching (which rises beyond the foliage) and the crown width of 35 cm, the tree will travel with a customized “armored” packaging system. The pot will be firmly anchored to the base of the package to minimize movement, while the crown and the delicate upper Jin will be wrapped in soft, high-quality protective and shock-absorbing materials, ensuring the bonsai arrives perfectly intact at its destination.
