Juniper find

Thank you for your encouragement Vance I had today been doing just that.I have removed downward and upward growth and thinned out in general and will do a bit more tomorrow after your words re branching have spurred me on. I am not very familiar with Junipers I have few small ones but have never worked on a tree this size before. Picture enclosed of one of my little ones less that 12inches high in all and just before one of it's regular thinning outs.




Cheers Michael

This is really lovely that little one of yours, Michael!
Perhaps a little thining out of the foliage could make it much more attractive...? Or am I wrong?

Thank you for your kind remarks this was from a nursery many years ago . And no you are not wrong if you read my last few words above this photo was prior to one of its regular thinnings out.It is a favourite of mine as it has evolved from a totally different shape over the years, originally a couple of branches a few inches off the ground and parallel to he surface.

This is what bonsai is, isn't it?

The tree is looking really good. You have accomplished much with a very difficult species.
