A Robusta Green Juniper is one of the many varieties of Chinese Junipers (Juniperus chinensis). Jim has been a featured speaker at many conventions and has worked for many bonsai associations. He is past president of Bonsai Clubs International, the first president of Golden State Bonsai Federation, the founding president of the Santa Anita Bonsai Society and currently serves on the American Bonsai Society's board of directors.

He has made previous presentations on pots to the SDBC, and his pots are always in demand at the SDBC Spring and Fall Bonsai shows.
