This evergreen shrub or small tree is an ideal species for bonsai. It is ever so easy to keep, and can survive well in most outdoor conditions. It has dark green to blue- green needles and spherical fruits, which ripen to black. Chinese Junipers eventually develop a gnarled, twisted trunk, which makes them ideal bonsai for driftwood effects. They are excellent subjects for bonsai shaped in a contemporary sculptural style.
