Juniperus rigida/Needle Juniper

Post by HarryHarrington »

Hi!

This is a Needle Juniper I was lucky enough to style on Sunday for Faisal Waheedy. Faisal had purchased the tree about a year ago and had allowed it to grow fairly wild

The tree is approximately 24" in height btw

Pavel Slovak (a very talented artist from Czech Republic) sent Faisal a virtual for the tree and it was my job to style the Juniper according to Pavel's design.

After 4 hours of wiring and quite a lot of discussion about whether to remove the lowest right branch, in accordance with Pavel's design, the tree was finished!

While I was at Faisal's I took a few pictures of the new garden he has recently had built

Faisal admitted to me that he built the path one evening last week after work; starting at 10pm and working through the night until it was finished at 3am! Now that's dedication!
