Hey guys! Found a juniper shrub at Walmart for a dollar. So I took it home and got 2 nice little trees out of it. Heres one of them just wanted some advice on it. I'm not sure if I should keep both branches on it and should I trim them shorter.... what do you think? And any other ideas you guys have I would love you hear. Thanks!

I think it would look good as a double trunk if you can.....ahem, get em up.

You'll need all that foilage to pull thru winter too!

Nice.

How would I start that.. pull the two branches towards each other? Or just let the main trunk grow up and will it do that?

Sorry for all a questions. . Just excited to have people to talk to about plants!

Work, Nwaite. Nwaite s'more, work again, Nwaite....!

I never bent one so much but it's possible. You gotta put the holy ham to it tho! Leverage and ooomph. Safely, it ain't easy!

You come to the right place to talk about plants!
And rugby, and politics, and rocks, and thongs, potty training, many insults, most of them foolish, more foolishness, and Beer, wine, scotch, weed, soil, poetry, ! Crazy!

I need it.

Need what? Rocks?
If I put rocks in between weed and liquer, it could mean something else!
That's the kind of context that leads to foolishness!

Potty training? Lol
