My 6th Juniper kengai first styling .

Hello all, this is the first kengai to me , I finally found this juniper that look a bit interesting , not easy to find it in my city.
I think this time is Procumbens.
.

start wiring , I just follow the trunk flow to set up the pad without any extreme bending.


kind of smooth work with material like this.



done for now.




thank you all for watching.

Thank you, Efi.

now in progress ,I like the way of the trunk flow , but I don't like the way it thin so I just tight it short back a little bit to make it looks more solid .


I hope to get the pot like this.

I hope so, Thank you Michael.

update after repotted .

I like it shorter! Very nice.

I do NOT like the two long horns (antlers) poking up behind it. I'd suggest you shorten them a lot (and the one in the tail also).

update , I open the pad to see more trunk and remove lower branch that was too heavy ,now become jin.

Yes I agree with Jim

Very Horny indeed.... hi hihi hihi

Ill take one horn off.

But you are doing very well.

Hi apisit chuldecha

I like your work...but would take out both horns completely, the lines in the jins does not improove the design.

Kind regards Yvonne

I touched up again and cut those horns  already.

update this tree it's been 10 months ,since last time styling that ,I have been thinking about how to show more of the trunk movement and that the problem was stuck in the point of the perspective at the front view, the trunk direction was running horizontal to the eyes level at the front view too much, so I restyle again by changing the trunk angle to more running down to the floor , this is the way to show more trunk movement as the front elevation .

I remove a lot of foliage because I just don't want them pay too much attention more than the trunk movement.

final.

Thank you.

Wow factor is high on this one. I actually liked it better with more foliage, but this way the trunk is shown very well. I think a little more extreme bending to bring the foliage closer to the base would be quita a leap forwards.
Please let know what you think about it!

Thank you Maarten.
I can say this tree has left only foliage stick on the main trunk no primary branch ,so I can't do anything much on the hard fix of main trunk , once the foliage old become primary branch , I would be able to make them move like you said.

Okay, thanks for your reply, now I understand
