Mature Juniper Procumbens Nana Pre-Bonsai – Massive 2.5" Trunk, Started in 1986

Mature Juniper Procumbens Nana Pre-Bonsai – Massive 2.5" 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 is a rare mature juniper with a massive 2 1/2" trunk, rugged bark, dense foliage, and the kind of age that cannot be rushed.

This tree has incredible presence. The heavy trunk anchors the design, while the sweeping foliage mass creates a broad, powerful silhouette with strong future styling potential. At 15" tall with a 26" spread, this is substantial material for someone ready to develop a serious juniper specimen.

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 is not starter material. It is a mature, long-developed Juniper Procumbens Nana with a powerful trunk, aged bark, and a full canopy that gives the tree immediate presence. The trunk alone makes this piece stand out, with size and texture that would take decades to produce from young stock.

The dense foliage provides plenty of material for future styling, thinning, wiring, and refinement. With thoughtful work, this tree has the bones to become a dramatic specimen-quality juniper with strong movement, age, and mass.

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.
