Juniperus horizontalis

Hi all you lovelies

I planted this Juniperus in a hollow stump in a pathway in my garden. (1999)  Needless to say everyone walked right over it, like a welcome mat.   Bleddy stupid idea I had. hihihihi

Anyway then I had a struck of brilliance, which only lasted a few seconds.  But the tree was ripped out of the ground and slapped into a blue bonsai pot where it sat for the next couple of years, not doing much.  Poor thing.





Last week I tackled it and out of the ashes rose a Phoenix.  Im still cleaning the deadwood and will then Lime sulphur it.

What do you think , and what kind of pot  should I plant it in in September? Shall I take of more Foliage?





Love and light
Dre

Nice work there! (scratches his head and thinks.. I have one of those burried in the shrubs somewhere..)

I would probably go for a very simple unglazed roundish pot..?, along these lines?

Thank you my friend....will try and find the apropriate pot.

Hi Andre

You could catch me in a trap baited with a blue pot.   

I have convinced myself conifers are a figment of the imagination and given up on keeping one alive, but nice transformation of a little tree that didn't have much going for it.

Lime sulphur, little bit more foliage and a.......smaller blue pot!      

Cheers
Gerhard

and a.......smaller blue pot!

Or, NOT.  Maybe a glazed brown or tan. Junipers don't belong in Chinese blue pots!

yeah...
because you certainly don't want to be ostracized at "the contest" because you put it in a pot that you like   

Hi hihihiihi you guys are so funny..

Thank you Jim Gerhard and Kevin, like always you guys have impeccable taste to like my tree.  .

I must admit I also have a thing for a blue pot. I would never have even thought of it being wrong because its Chinese.

Love and light.

it would probably be OK if it was Inuit or French or Turkish
and maybe more acceptable if it were cobalt or azure  



but all wise-crackeryness aside, i REALLY like that lang pot that you posted, leatherback !!!

nonononono! Blue modifies Chinese. It's that gawdawful neon electric blue that doesn't go with a juniper and epitomizes cheapness.

Nothing less that Lapiz sweetheart.

Kevin be a man like Gerhard and also admit that you have no taste whatsoever.  Listen to what Jim is preaching.  Dammit!
