Club Show 2021 – Shimpaku Juniper Tanuki – Juniperus chinensis
This is a tanuki – a marriage of a new tree to the trunk of an old tree that has died. It’s not technically a bonsai but it allows us to appreciate an older trunk with new life. The base of the old trunk was closer to the ground when I put them together. Now the “blade” of deadwood looks out of proportion so in the future I will reduce it.
