Dwight Floyd,
One seed Junipers I have a little experience with- we collected a number out in Western New Mexico and I have one that has survived for 3 years (actually flourished). It seems to be a lot like RMJ, not so much Like California that roots back on old like wood well. Mike Hagedorn has had one as a Bonsai for a number of years.

I would try the local varieties, I don't think many use them because there isn't really a big bonsai community in your neck of the woods (or if they do, we just don't hear about them as much. Could be a real treasure. John
