Thanks for the photos Skip. I'm a big fan of progression as it gives all of us an idea of how different plants mature. I particually like the juniper and it gives me hope that mine will also improve.

Good tree, good pot, good stand. In combination it really set the scene, well done. What is the time line for this progression Skip? And one more question, how tall is the privet?
Thanks in advance - Watto
