I am so glad you addressed this subject. There are many enthusiasts and even professionals who misuse the word shimpaku. This word is an umbrella term that encompasses different variations of juniperus chinensis. Some of these regional variations include: Hokkaido, Itoigawa, Kishu, and Shikoku, named for the locations in which they were discovered. Beautiful and informed video.

I was surprised too. I just thought it was a dwarf discovered in a single region, but it turned out to be a mix of several regions, and people had developed it over the years.

That was a lovely video! Thanks so much! Where did you get all the information? I need more of these about bonsai lore, instant sub

[@plantingo]

I got direct information from someone who has learned from a proper bonsai master in Japan for a long time, and I gathered various information from Japanese websites and reorganized it. Although I replaced some photos with alternatives, bonsai has indeed developed according to interesting micro-histories within Japan. Thank you~!!!

I worked so hard on the research, but all the script captions are gone! Sorry!

Sargentii (as well as any eponymous Latin names with the ii suffix) is actually pronounced “sargent E I” (like the Nelly song 😂).

[@littleshinshin1188]

i wonder how its call it as in japanese 😮

[@plantingo]

In bonsai, as well as in botanical nomenclature more broadly, the term "sargentii" refers to a species or subspecies that has been named in honor of a person with the surname Sargent. :D
