Like all of our Decade trees, this tree has excellent balance, proportion and realism. They have depth and definition and look like a million bucks. They also look great from far away because of their great silhouettes. This tree stands 11 inches high and has a spread of 17 inches – an excellent value. It's a bit difficult to get a sense of the actual size of this Bonsai tree from the picture, but if you look closely you will see that we have placed a pecan on the surface of the gravel as a size reference. *Yes, that is a real frog on the trunk of this tree... he rode in on the tree from outside to have his picture taken with the tree and rode back outside with it but is now elsewhere we assume, so frog not included.
Bonsai is a Japanese term meaning “tree in a tray”, and this Bonsai tree is truly a great example of what a good Bonsai should look like: a century old real tree in miniature form. This variety of Juniper (Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper) has a very cool exfoliating bark, which means the bark sheds as it grows, giving it an aged look. This Bonsai has the classic shape of an age-old tree and although it grows slowly, and looks great right now, it will continue to develop for years to come.
