Mature Juniper Procumbens Nana Pre-Bonsai – Powerful Trunk, 32" Spread, Started in 1986

Mature Juniper Procumbens Nana Pre-Bonsai – Powerful Trunk, 32" Spread, 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 piece of pre-bonsai material with a powerful trunk, exceptional age, and an enormous 32" spread.

This tree has the kind of character that is extremely difficult to find: rugged bark, broad low movement, dense mature foliage, and a trunk that already gives the tree serious visual weight. It is far beyond starter material and offers the next owner a chance to continue developing a truly impressive juniper.

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 demonstrated 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 young nursery stock. It is a mature, long-grown Juniper Procumbens Nana with decades of development already behind it. The broad canopy, heavy trunk, aged bark, and dense foliage give the tree immediate presence while still leaving room for future styling, cleaning, thinning, wiring, and refinement.

The foliage mass is full and healthy, with enough volume to support several possible design directions. For the right bonsai enthusiast, this is the kind of material that can move from impressive pre-bonsai into a specimen-quality tree with thoughtful work over time.

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.
