When it comes to working with bonsai trees, one of the things that I absolutely love is when I get an opportunity to take an old completed bonsai that was allowed to overgrow and bring it back to where it should be. This rustic Sokan style (Twin Trunk) Prostrata juniper (Juniperus Chinensis Prostrata) looks like a very old tree because it is. The actual age and history of the tree can be found in the thickness of the sinuous trunks as well as the branch development and deadwood, which are clearly the focal points of the tree. In a genuine Sokan style tree, two trunks rise from a single base. The trunks generally touch and may be joined for a short distance above the nebari. In following the classic Japanese style one trunk is taller and thicker than the other, and both are clearly visible from the trees front and back. As previously mentioned the canopy and foliage have been recently cleaned and shaped. Because this tree is an old completed piece the primary, secondary, and tertiary branches are already set with absolutely no wire attached to the tree. What this means for its new owner is that this tree is now show ready. The sinuous trunks are also very impressive due to the thickness and. Texture that is rarely found in a Sokan style tree of this size. Any consider the Prostrata juniper to be one of the easiest junipers to work with because of its resilient ability to handle many environments. Overall, the composition of this twin trunk Juniper conveys a tree that has lived its entire life on an open windy bluff and it shows in its natural beauty. The pot that has married to this beautiful tree for quite time now is equally pleasing. It is an old, but finely done rectangular Japanese Tokoname ceramic bonsai pot (16×12x4). The tree was re-potted three years ago so it is very well established. On a side note. Ive noticed that not too many sellers talk or write about things that should be done after you receive your tree so I will give you my two cents worth. When you receive your tree unpack it carefully. Cut the tape and plastic wrap from the pot and the branches if applicable. Secondly give the tree a good watering and then put the tree in a partially shaded spot for a few days to allow it to adjust. After several days of adjustment your new bonsai can be reintroduced to bright sun. Good luck and if you have any questions feel free to fire off a message.
