one becomes three

Post by Matthew »

As from my other fthread freebies and stuff i was given a 3 group of junipers around a rock setting. It was neglected and i didnt like the setting but the trees did have some age. I was really impressed by the movemnet of one of the trees which must of been set at a young age. Last 2 days inbetween this torrent of rain we are having here atm i restyled , wired and repotted all 3. Im very happy with how 2 came out the 3rd is anything really but have potted up to keep for 12 months and find a use or sell. Pics cant show the movment as it bends back and forth, wiring is just rough for now more refining as it goes but i have done enough for now( 2 buckets of foliage later) get more pics once everything dries out. I really love literati trees but they are not easy to designand nice ones are few and far between.

an update both trees are doing well ive decided to turn the literati so the back is now the front and it needs repotting slightly turned as i took the picture. you decide which way you like better, having a tree with two possibilities is always good :tu: tree will be refined over the coming years, i really like the movemnt in the trunk.
