Every holiday at Mirai, we pick out a neglected piece of nursery stock—often a recycled holiday tree or overlooked landscaping materials. This year, we acquired a dilapidated blue rug juniper with tremendous potential for bonsai creation.
Build your skills around maximizing the quality of nursery stock, transforming a commonly available material into a spectacular shohin bonsai display.

Thanks Ryan for this video, it's perfect for me as a bonsai-beginner. Wish you all the best for 2023.
Bless you mirai 🥹
👍👌🙂
Wow good idea . Never seen this done on a crawling juniper.
Thanks Ryan. Nice tree.
Hello Ryan, thank you very much for this successful presentation and inspiration for me. You have managed it perfectly again. Greetings Gernot aka Bonsai-Treff from Berlin (Germany)
Thanks for sharing the love!
In Arizona can this be done now? Given you did root and foliage reduction.
I'm so very happy to see you work on something that people like me can and do actually have in my collection, it's given me so much confidence to see something that isn't like a massive piece that you have been growing for the last 13 years or it cost thousands,
So thank you from a disabled fan of you and bonsai trees
Also I now know what to do with my itigowa juniper shoin
Really wonderful creation
Just AMAZING 👏 😍
Thanks for everything Ryan happy new year to you and your team 😊
Seeing the way the pocket lid on his shirt is doing what it’s doing I can assure you that is a Carhartt shirt.
