I've always wanted to get into Bonsai, but felt like I don't have the patience or time. There's been an elderly Asian man selling them on a street corner I pass every weekend, and today I bit the bullet. He told me it was 2 years old, but didn't tell me what kind it is. Help would be appreciated! Thank You!



surprisingly, this isn't the first bonsai in the car shop I work at

From what I can tell by the research I've done so far, I think its a Juniper...

Yes, it is a juniper.

If you are serious about getting in bonsai, this is a nice plant to practice watering, maybe a little wiring. However, it will not readily be called a bonsai. A lot more is needed to be worthy of that label. As you take care fo this plant, read up on the ideas behind it, and what consitutes a bonsai!
