only the tree matters...

... too complex...

a sideview




...this next is getting close ...



... the livingveines are nearly white right now because of chalk in the water, the true colour you see on the first page...

you are so lucky Helmut, what plan of this tree style?

WOW!!! The strip tease worked. That tree is amazing. Great future for it. You should contact Mike Hagedorn see what his take is on it. www.crataegus.com

this face

...This is my chosen front for now...

Very nice Helmut. . I like the separation of the foliage masses with this amount of deadwood. Its very popular to over refine and end up with a perfect single canopy with a deadwood tree. Your Juniper, is more akin to trees seen in a harsh environment.

Thanks Viriato and Will!

Heres another juniper from my collection

Juniperus thurifera yamadori



...after quite a time, but still in progess...



I`m going to keep that angle,... for that my next point is to develope the green. Especially on the left side of the top to finish the movement.

I still think only the tree matters, but to be honest: for both of my trees here would be interesting to find the right pots...

Cheers to all, Helmut!

Another stunning Juniper Helmut. I'm not sure the vertical bottom branch works though. Perhaps some movement to match the dynamic trunk?

Thanks Will, that's bugs me too. I like the first picture better, but what a beautiful juniper!!!
