The bonsai drawings in John Naka's Sketchbook will live forever. Alas, that cannot be said for all the trees depicted... but here are stories and photos of those trees that are alive and well.
- John's Last Sketch – We begin at the end, with a look at a prostrata juniper that is finally beginning to resemble John's design – the last sketch he ever drew.
- John Naka's Cascading Juniper – John rarely sketched his own trees; this cascading juniper he collected from the Mojave Desert is an exception.
