Rare “Mas Ishii” Kishu Shimpaku Pre-Bonsai
Due to USDA regulations, we cannot ship Junipers to California.
This is a rare opportunity to own a genuine “Mas Ishii” Kishu Shimpaku pre-bonsai — a name synonymous with high-quality Shimpaku material. Unlike finished bonsai, this tree remains in its grow pot, full of raw character and potential for the enthusiast ready to take it to the next level.
The twisted trunk displays beautiful movement and aged bark, with a strong base and branching that sets the stage for refined styling. The foliage is compact and healthy, true to the Kishu variety, providing excellent density for pad development and future refinement. This is not collected material — it has been grown in a pot and shaped over time, giving you a head start with strong roots and an established structure.
