Mature Juniper Procumbens Nana Pre-Bonsai – Dense Foliage, Aged Trunk, Started in 1986
Due to USDA restrictions, junipers cannot be shipped to California.
This is the exact Juniper Procumbens Nana pre-bonsai you will receive. Started in 1986 by Gerald Rainville, this mature juniper has a dense, healthy canopy, aged bark, and a substantial trunk with excellent potential for future refinement.
This tree offers a strong balance of compact size and mature presence. The 1 3/4" trunk gives it visual weight, while the full foliage mass provides plenty of material for branch selection, thinning, wiring, and future pad development.
These mature Juniper Procumbens Nana are the same line of material that has drawn attention from major bonsai artists at events including the Mid Atlantic Bonsai Show and Bonsai Outlet / New England Bonsai Spring Celebration. Artists including Peter Warren, Kaya Mooney, Jonas Dupuich, and Julien Tsai, have shown how dramatically this material can be transformed into specimen-quality bonsai.
Gerald Rainville started this tree in 1986 and is no longer growing this material. Bonsai Outlet is the only source in the United States currently offering this group of mature Rainville-grown Juniper Procumbens Nana pre-bonsai.

About This Tree
This Juniper Procumbens Nana is mature, healthy, and full, with the age and density that make this Rainville-grown material so compelling. The canopy has enough mass to support multiple possible design directions, while the older trunk provides a strong foundation for a future specimen-quality tree.
For a bonsai enthusiast ready to work with serious material, this tree offers a rare opportunity: decades of development already present, but with enough unrefined structure left to make the final design your own.
Care Notes
Junipers are outdoor bonsai trees and should not be grown indoors. Grow this tree outside with strong light, good airflow, and appropriate seasonal care. For more detailed care guidance, please refer to our educational bonsai resources or contact us before purchase.
Shipping Confidence
This tree ships from our Massachusetts nursery. We carefully pack each tree to help protect the trunk, branches, foliage, pot, and soil during transit.
Some minor soil movement or light shifting can happen during shipping, especially with larger living trees, but every tree is packed with care by people who understand bonsai.
Please Note
All trees are sold as-is. All sales are final – no refunds, returns, or exchanges. Once the tree leaves our nursery, care is your responsibility. Have questions? Just reach out—we’re happy to help.
We ship thousands of bonsai trees and supplies each year, and every order is packed with care by our team. Live trees are watered, secured, and packaged to help them arrive safely and ready for their new home.
Live bonsai trees generally ship early in the week, Monday and Tuesday, to reduce time in transit. Tools, pots, soil, fertilizer, and other non-living items usually ship throughout the week.
Bonsai Outlet is a licensed nursery, not just a warehouse. We follow the proper inspection and certification requirements for shipping live plants across state lines. When a state requires additional documentation, such as a nematode certificate or nursery inspection certificate, we work to ensure the proper requirements are met before shipping.
