One-of-a-Kind Itoigawa Shimpaku Juniper – Raw Potential, Incredible Character
Some trees are “finished.” This one is interesting.
This is an older Itoigawa Shimpaku Juniper with the kind of trunk movement you can’t fake - tight twists, natural tension, and a heavy, grounded feel that makes you stop and look twice. Add in the amount of branching already built into the canopy, and you’ve got the best kind of project tree: serious material with serious upside.
It’s also honest about what it is: this tree has not been heavily styled. It’s been living at our nursery for years, waiting for the right person - someone who wants an exceptional Itoigawa and actually enjoys the work ahead: selecting fronts, building pads, refining structure, and slowly bringing the design to life.
This tree came to us from Hollow Creek in Rochester, NY when we purchased their bonsai inventory and business. It has never been listed online before. It’s time to find it a forever home.
The Tree you see is the tree you'll receive.
IMPORTANT: We Can NOT ship Junipers to California. It's a USDA State Regulation.
