What makes the Shimpaku Itiogawa Juniper better than J. chineseis nana for
Bonsai?

Billy

You can actually get a decent trunk in your lifetime with
'Itoigawa'.

Brent raises an important point: how quickly can one expect to develop a convincing trunk to support the bonsai illusion?

I see many folks asking questions about developing specimens for bonsai culture from seed. I envy your patience. );-)
