BONSAI TREE MAME/SHOHIN KISHU JUNIPER in JAPANESE POT. Height: The height of the tree from the soil line to the top of the apex is 4. Trunk Diameter: The trunk Dia, is approximately. Wood stand not included! This outstanding little giant. Actually falls in the Mame class size of bonsai trees. The literal translation of the Japanese words Mame means Bean, and the meaning of the word Shohin means a small thing indicating that this tree is even smaller than Shohin size Bonsai. Along with the awesome curvy trunk, the tree also shows great taper, excellent branch placement, excellent development of primary and secondary branches, and a textured bark that shows the trees age. Although no exact rules have ever been formulated on the exact size of a bonsai, a tree is considered to be Mame when it measures under 4 tall and a Shohin under 10 tall. As most of you know, the Kishu Shimpaku Juniper is a very slow growing tree and for that reason, many will graft kishu foliage to different variety of Junipers that grow much faster i. San Jose or Old California Junipers. This little Shimpaku is not grafted, it is 100% authentic Kishu Shimpaku Juniper. The Kishu portion attests to the lush green growth of the foliage. The trunk shows very dramatic movement, but the foliage scale is the part of the tree that is the most impressive. The reason I claim this, is due in part to the amazing emerald green condensed scale foliage. Many consider the Kishu Shimpaku juniper one of the most pleasant trees to work with because of its soft foliage and this one is indeed a very beautiful little tree. Complementing the small trees dramatic stature is a round Japanese porcelain bonsai pot (4×2) that works very well with the trees feisty little attitude.
