I had this rock I carved, and after I finished carving it , needed to put something on it. Found this tiny tip cutting of juniper ??? variegated, and promptly planted it in it.
Stone is soft so I can always enlarge the rock if trunks gets too big.
The cutting was 10-15 cm. I wired it and just left it to grow with minor trimming. I am posting it to inspire newbs of how you can make something out of nothing.
Future for this tree is to use escape branch to fatten the trunk, bring the foliage closer to the trunk and form pads.
