Juniper #2 (~Daygan)

[daygan]

I collected this juniper yesterday (Monday, March 25). It was the other half of this juniper, which I collected on Saturday.

Height: About 5'10" I suppose..
Trunk: haven't measured
Plan: Keep it alive, maybe in a year or so, when I know it's healthy, start slowly working on a design.

As may or may not be evident, this half of the tree has the bulk of the root mass between the two halves.[/td]

As with my other juniper, since I'm not very familiar with juniper care yet, I'm very open to advice about keeping this tree alive. I do ask that if the subject is a controversial one that you p.m. me about it, so as to avoid lengthy public debate.

And again, thanks in advance for any and all responses!

So, you wanna be the second Kimura - wow!

Should be a lot of fun.

I love the roof top digs! kind of a sketchy railing system though!

Ha ha... honestly, I didn't even think about how tall it was when I was collecting. I'm used to collecting broad-leaf deciduous trees which can just be chopped down to a more manageable size... add to that the fact that the trunk and root structure under the earth were much larger than I originally suspected, and I got a tree that was quite a bit larger than I was originally thinking... but it will be fun to work on

I love the roof top digs! kind of a sketchy railing system though!

That's an understatement! I don't even think that "railing" reaches any higher than my shin! I just make sure I stay away from the edge...

I hope this one survives. If it does you will have some extremely interesting work for sure. Good luck!
