Collection - No 20COMMON JUNIPER -
|
History of this tree This juniper was started as a cutting by Mike Sadler in the early 1970`s, It was planted out into his garden as a simple garden shrub. However, following his growing interest in Bonsai it was placed into a pot during the 1990`s as a project tree, with some help from Charlotte Walby and Steve Tolley. At various bonsai workshops Mike developed it into this rather large tree in his collection of bonsai. As a member of the FNBC he was aware of the collection and its standing in the gardens and was more than happy to bequeath it to the collection. It is intended to place this tree as part of a display in front of the café area, a project that has been delayed by two seasons by Covid. Hopefully it will soon take pride of place at the end of the large patio area where it will indeed take pride of place in remembrance of Mike. Bequeathed by Mike Sadler.
