About this Golden Joy Shimpaku Juniper Bonsai, 7 Years Old (Juniperus pfitzeriana)
'Golden Joy' is a shimpaku juniper chosen for the strength of its yellow colouring, brighter than that of other golden shimpaku selections and held right through the year rather than fading between seasons. Its form is spreading and compact and its growth slow, so the tree stays small and shapely for many years. This one is 7 years old and 8 to 9 inches tall. Hardy in habit, it is kept outdoors, where cold air and open conditions suit it. Junipers of this kind are shaped mainly by pinching new growth back into the foliage pads.
Shimpaku Juniper bonsai care
This is a living Shimpaku Juniper (Juniperus chinensis 'Shimpaku'). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Outdoor only; junipers need a real dormancy and cannot live indoors
- Light
- Full sun; at least 5 to 6 hours of direct light daily
- Water
- Moderate; likes to dry slightly between waterings, never waterlogged
- USDA zones
- 4 to 9
- #1 cause of death
- Keeping it indoors: junipers slowly decline and die without outdoor conditions
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Shimpaku Juniper bonsai care guide.
