It was #k4755 if its still on their website. It was a "One of a Kind" juniper (so you are buying the exact one you see). It had a great looking red pot that would go nicely with all the blues and greens we have for the tropicals.

It was 12 years old and about 14" from bottom of pot to top of tree. 8" pot if I remember correctly.

I'll have to take pics when it arrives! Ju

I'd love to try a dwarf pomegranate. I've never had the pleasure of seeing one in real life - just drooled over lovely examples in some of my bonsai books.

One of my books says it needs to be kept cold in winter though - 6-10 C or even lower, which is too cold for most homes unless you have an unheated room. If they don't rest properly the new growth in spring will be weak apparently.

I had my pomegranate about 15 years and treated it like any regular houseplant. The hummingbirds loved it. I didn't know about the temps or anything else and it did fine. They are terribly easy. We had a deer in the neighborhood around the time of its total destruction and I suspect that is what got it (I am guessing they aren't deer-resistant). I got mine from a seed catalog (cheap) but might get one from logees this time, if the smaller ones aren't grafted as I have a few other plants I want to get there.
