5.- Indoor versus outdoor bonsai.
The trees sold as bonsai often come from temperate regions. This means that, just like the trees in those regions, they require full sunlight, well aerated soil and a winter dormancy period at near-freezing temperatures. Kept in the artificial environment of a home, these trees will become weakened and die. This category includes junipers (Juniperus), spruces (Picea) and most other conifers.

9.- California Junipers: Tripper (Dedicated to Mr. Harry Hirao).
This tree started out as being the tree I tripped over while collecting the tree above. In a fit of rage I hauled off and kicked it, dislodging most of it from the ground. It was not planted too deeply and as can be seen from the rootage below it had only a large root on each side of the trunk. I broke both those when I kicked it and just sawed them off to take the tree down the hill with me. I

10.- California Junipers: Buruhōn (Dedicated to Mr. Harry Hirao).
This is the name Harry gave to this tree when I collected it. He said it had a tenjin (apex) like a Buruhon (bullhorn). I call it Bullhorn too.

It is easy to see why tripping over a small juniper and seeing this beauty fly thru the air perhaps breaking that
