Juniper Bonsai Trees :: Tanuki Juniper Bonsai

Tanuki Juniper Bonsai

This tree is also known as a "Phoenix Graft" as it is actually a living bonsai tree grafted onto a piece of deadwood. The deadwood is from another species and creates a most impressive and beautiful effect. The word "tanuki" in Japanese means "badger." The Japanese have a folklore tradition whereby the badger is always playing tricks on people so that nothing appears what it seems. The same can be said in a certain way for this tree, as the deadwood in it appears quite alive. Tanuki trees are sometimes called "Phoenix Grafts" due to the ability of the phoenix to rise up from its own ashes, with the metaphor being that the Tanuki tree makes use of a lifeless trunk. Set this amazing Juniper bonsai tree in your home and make it the centerpiece of any decorative setting.
