Juniperus chinensis 'Shimpaku'

thats lovely and i love that stripe in the bark

I do too, I'd be afraid to try that with any of my bonsai.

how do they do it?

They carve it into the trunk and even carve branches to give it that look.

I had no idea that was how! thank you!!!

you learn a lot being on here dont you ~ well i do!!

I do learn a lot on here, the best way to learn is by talking with other gardeners!

i think so!!! but you learn more than just gardening!!
