Juniper procumbens 'Nana' is a dwarf, dense and bushy shrub. Its trailing habit develops in a cascading or semi-cascading style, making it an ideal candidate for growing as a bonsai. We love its little sparkly green needles. Bonsai trees require regular pruning to avoid too high a density of foliage causing browning and falling of the interior needles. Therefore, you must thin out the upper branches by cutting with scissors, making sure to leave enough foliage on a branch to generate new shoots. To encourage its growth, it is important to add fertilizer regularly and ensure high ambient humidity.
