California Bonsai Beast 12/10/17

The beast. Here's Mauro Stemberger's caption... "California Juniper called 'the Beast' after one more step - this time we worked to make it more compact; bending down 15 inches the top and removing the lower branch. Pictures show the evolution in the last 3 years. Collection: Hank Fawcett"

We’ll just show a few photos of this magnificent old California juniper and encourage you to visit Mauro Stemberger and Hank Fawcett for more on the evolution of this aptly named Beast.
