  • Procumbens juniper is sometimes ostracized for lending itself so conveniently to bonsai-its sinuous curves and elegant deadwood creates a stunning composition with ease. However, it requires the same degree of bonsai technique to truly bring it to its highest levels. In this mini-stream, dive into the nuances of spring work for your procumbens juniper: build your skills in spring pruning, clean-out, and techniques for refining ramification.

    Beautiful little tree. Any chance of a beginner series with this species as it is a starter species for so many and over looked by so many. Really enjoy every video you guys make and share

    Ryan: this tree refuses to die!
    Me: Give me ten minutes and a watering can.

    These along with all the other in the Mirai Live library are the best learning media for bonsai to date! Been a Mirai Live member since 2018 so not long after it was launched and it changed my practice in minutes. I mean, the proof you can see in all the trees Ryan shows and works on. Y'all should see the field grown JBP that has evolved over the last few years on Mirai Live... absolutely incredible!!! Love ya Mirai fam, Mmmmmuah!!! -Korey

    This is such a good video. We have two procumbens that are our first two bonsai that we got last year at a workshop (they're about 7 years old now), and this has a lot of really actionable tips for giving them their first cleaning. Thanks! They grow so vivaciously that I didn't really know where to begin after cleaning up the very obvious bottom growth.

    Serendipitous timing, perhaps. I was inspecting a p. nana cascade earlier today to unfortunately come to the conclusion it has given up the ghost. I was particularly proud of that one; thick trunk, compact nicely formed pads, good taper, and overall size close to the one in the video (but, obviously, in a different direction). I know losing a tree or two is all apart of the game but to see years of work ultimately go down the drain is a bit of a gut punch. True, it's not an entire loss if one gained some experience and knowledge but, man, I was close to tossing the whole bonsai thing into the bin with the tree. I'm feeling a little more determined to try again. Thanks for this and all prior videos.

    I haven't started yet and only recently become interested, but feel really inspired now. I love plants and gardening so Bonsai feels like a natural progression in my exploration of working with plants. Your style of presentations beautifully demonstrates the complexity in a comprehensible fashion without overwhelming a pre-beginner like me. Thank you Ryan!

    Incredible. Thank you for doing what you do. When you talked about how if you strip the foliage off it should have the same quality of craftsmanship of a deciduous... amazing. I have heard the opposite, how you're able to hide a bit more with conifers, how if you go and look underneath many of the high quality conifers in Japan you see all kinds of flaws so its ok if no one sees it.. this is detrimental thinking. Thank you for continuously elevating this beautiful craft, art whatever you want to call it

    OMG even your photographer is Josh !!!! Herons bonsai too has one 😂, but seriously this video is so insightful & I think I too have a porcumbens (sorry for bad spelling) which was plonked into a shallow pot a few years ago & it looks like a bonsai 😅 but I’m going to refine & prune it this spring & make a real bonsai, thank you for this detailed session

    Excellent information! For the record, I don’t shy away from my love for Procumbens. My instructor Lee Cheatle and I both love the species dearly.
    I am curious if you can offer any insight into a mysterious die off of a number of my Procumbens this spring. I wonder if the sudden onset of hot weather after months of rain here in Oregon could have been too much of a shock? I lost 3-4 well established and previously very healthy trees. Is there anything else you’ve seen that provides spring time danger for this species? Assume good water, oxygen, food, sun, and overwintering.

    Great tree. I really like procumbens nana junipers, they may not have that "pro" appearence but if the goal isn't exhibition but enjoying this hobby, this is a great species to learn from.
    I have one question: This is considered a fast growing juniper. Once you clean the bark, does it have that reddish tone? I'm thinking of using it to grow big trunks faster and then maybe grafting another variety of juniper. Since itos grow slower, would be that a good option?

    Are procumbens nana considered sort of pedestrian , and of lower value…. I have a 40 year old dragon style procumbens nana of exhibition quality. Maybe I should have chosen a different species of more value???
