Kishu Shimpaku Juniper Workshop (Sunday, July 25, 2021)
Take the first steps to creating yourself a gnarly looking juniper tree. Look above at some of the trees you will be able to select from!
We were recently able to acquire some really cool Kishu Shimpaku Junipers from Mark Comstock and were thinking of the best way to utilize these trees.
John Romano's name instantly was discussed and when asked if he would like to hold a workshop he did not hesitate to say yes.
John is our resident shohin master and has been specializing in shohin sized trees for decades
We know this is very last minute but don't miss out.
What to Expect:
In this workshop you will receive one of our newly acquired 6 year old Kishu Junipers. These have been grown by master grower Mark Comstock. With tons of interesting branch choices, beautiful flared nebari, and nice compact foliage these trees are truly special.
The quality of the trees combined with John Romano’s instruction means that you will walk away from this class with a gem of a tree.

Learning Resources and Bonsai Tree Care Guides:
Bonsai trees are not all the same - and neither is their care. Read our specific care sheets for individual bonsai species. Read the Bonsai Care Guides
Shipping Bonsai Trees:
Bonsai trees are generally shipped on Mondays & Tuesdays to avoid having them stay in the boxes for any extra time over the weekends.

All non-bonsai items such as bonsai pots and bonsai supplies are shipped within 48 hours of receiving payment. Most orders are shipped either the same day or the next day, depending on the time of day the order is received.
Important Guidelines:
** We cannot ship to a FPO, APO, P.O. Box or to locations in Alaska, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hawaii or anywhere internationally.
