Just waiting for some milder weather.

Gret stuff looking forward to see after the tidy up.
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Re: Juniper Needs Work
Yeah, its a nice tree.
its got good branch placement, pads need a little clean up, good movement, and should have some nice jin work available. I can see a possible shari forming there to the branch above the current jin.

Young and hostile but not stupid.
Re: Juniper Needs Work
Thats quite a big looking trunk you got there! Can you give us some details on the tree, size age etc. Are you open to discussions/suggestions on the tree?
I do like it.

Re: Juniper Needs Work
Hi LKPG,
Ever thought of losing the bottom right cascading branch. Would make a great slanting or informal upright and would help the 2 LHS branches which arn't as vigorous.
To my eye, I always find that if the lowest branch is on the side to which the tree's trunk leans, the tree will tend to look unbalanced. I do understand that you have created a cascading type style here.
Great tree and the type of material I love to work with. It has great trunk line and taper !
cheers
Dave
