Turning a 500-Year-Old Yamadori CA Juniper into a Bonsai

Today, we're going to work on this untrained 500-year-old California Juniper dug from the Mojave Desert. I bought it at an auction and it is quite root-bound, so we are going to repot, reorient, prune, and wire this bonsai! 0:00 About the CA Juniper 2:33 Root work 5:50 Analyzing the features 6:14 Orienting the tree 8:09 Cut to form pads 8:57 Wiring 9:38 Pruning 16:20 Juniper needles 17:32 Finishing touches 19:28 Choosing a pot 19:58 Summary 21:19 Before & after 21:30 Two weeks later To stay up to date on my bonsai, which will be available for purchase later this year, please sign up for my emails at bonsaiheirloom.com.
