Behold an extraordinary field-grown Itoigawa juniper for purchase! Cultivated and cared for by Tom Roberts at Driftwood Bonsai, this specimen was first potted in the spring of 2023 and underwent precise cleaning and live vein reduction during the summer. This chuhin-sized juniper embodies all the coveted traits of its species. While it already boasts the rugged allure typical of shinpaku junipers, there's further potential for refinement through additional live vein reduction and exposure of deadwood. From the graceful twists in its movement to the robust trunk girth and elegant nebari spread, every aspect promises continuous enhancement. With skilled attention, this juniper will swiftly become exhibition-worthy. Acquiring it early presents a rare opportunity to witness and contribute to its ongoing evolution.
