It was sent from California, so I'm sure it's never seen cold like what's coming.
Thanks in advance! This looks like a great site.

Welcome to the wonderful world of bonsai. I am very close to you, geographically, we live in Ottawa, KS. Your juniper would be better off with less protection than more. Here is a photo of my winter protection for last year, which was a bitter one, as you may remember:
All my trees were just placed on the ground under the benches. The only tree that didn't go there was a ficus.
PM me if you'd like to get together some time...we had a workshop a couple of weeks ago and it was great fun.
