Masterpiece
Bought this tree for $10 last week. Gave it a style. It’s been about a week since the work was done.
cut the pot down. Removed any surface duff. I turned the tree 15/20 degrees or so. Accentuated the natural curves and jinned a few branches with attaching Shari. I also wired the jins to put them right where I wanted. Laid the pads out flat and established the layout for the crown. This tree was very healthy at purchase and all I touched was the foliage. If it were a rescue juniper I probably wouldn’t have done what I did, but it was and so I got down. I’m thinking these may have been cutting grown as the amount of soil they were in to the height of the pot was small. Next spring if the tree looks healthy I’ll manage part of the root ball which appears decently compact and fiberto start. Though it’s probably fine I always must my juniper daily for several weeks after work has been done. It def needs more detail clean up and wiring but I didn’t want to get any more aggressive than I already did with the foliage remaining. if the foliage can keep tight it should be a fun tree long term.
