While this tree is loaded with foliage, it is mostly high on the trunks. It has three trunks that could pass as a triple trunk, but no branch structure to use. The trees needed to be pruned back hard sooner in their growth cycle to get branches lower on the trunks. The other four have much the same problems.
But this one has something that the others do not. It wants to play right at the crotch of all those trunks. I would buy this tree, prune all three trunks off, convert them to very small jins, and work the large 2" trunk into a very nice shohin shimpaku juniper.

Last but certainly not least, An Ume. This is a tree brought in by Ripsgreentree. A nice double trunk Japanese flowering apricot. Nice nebari, and the trunks split nice and low on the base. Leaves are small and the bark is fissured up real deep.

After spending half the day at the nursery, I'm ready to go home and have a nap. Just about then Ripsgreentree, aka. Glenn Van Winkle, shows up and starts shooting the bull. Next thing I know I killed another 2 hours at the place.

ONLY artistic talents...

Thanks, Al!
This was very educative, and also interesting. I hope I could go to places like that. We only have pure garden stock to make bonsai of... Well, it's better than nothing and a lot of the junipers looked just like our garden stock! Zeb

Thanks Al,
Bonsai enthusiast haven… I only wish we have a ten percent of this kind of nursery. I think I should pop to your area for a visit, maybe next summer.

Yep, that's pretty much how I do it except at regular nurseries. Not bonsai nurseries cause there aren't any for 100 miles around here. First I pick out "maybe's" and set them aside and then go back and narrow it down to one or two. If I'm looking through junipers I'll look til my fingers get bloody then it's time to pick one and go home.

A leg up
We are very lucky to have Gray and his nursery in fresno.
Al I like this thread and the fact that choices are not written in stone, each of us is diffrent. Life would be a boar if everything looked the same. I enjoyed the visit and hope to do it again sometime soon. The invitation for you to re visit the growing grounds still stands. We are about to start taking olive and elm cuttings for next year, should be fun. Glenn
