I decided to hit this draw up the side of the mountain. Snow was sticking on the ground there even though the temp was fairly mild. Most all the green dots in the pic are junipers. Trouble is most grow like an aloe vera plant. The trunk stays very small, and the branches radiate from the base of the trunk and grow upwards like suckers. Trees like this will almost never make good bonsai. First they have no trunk, and last the branches are just whips with foliage at the tips.
