Misc Juniper Species

Artist: Dan Barton
“Meyers” juniper (fondly known as the ‘Corkscrew’) originally styled at the IBC ’91 Convention in Birmingham. The tree was so brutalized by Dan during his demo that even John Naka thought it wasn’t going to survive and Craig Coussins whistled the funeral march when Dan packed it away to take home. Now in the collection of Peter Chan. The Meyers juniper is planted in a Korean pot and is about 48” tall.
