This species is the most popular tree used as bonsai for beginners. It's widely available everywhere, as it's mostly used as a ground cover or hedge plant. Their compact small thorny light green foliage grows into branches over time. During the summer months, it has strong growth patterns. The branches stay flexible for a longer period of time compared to other bonsai materials. It's possible to make virtually any sort of style with this species.

Not only that, they're forgiving for beginner level caretakers with their hardiness and semi-drought resistant qualities. It's an evergreen tree, so it can be enjoyed all year long without dropping all of its leaves. It's also known as "Dwarf Procumbens Juniper".
