Side:



Squamata No. 2 : viewtopic.php?f=114&t=9373 [first picture shown in thread]

It was a dead straight T shape, dont know what side i want as front yet:





No. 3, still the same as it was in the nursery pot, ill let it settle before copping and pinching:






As always opinions, critique and virts are welcome.

GDAY Drew how are ya today
Hello, i found that if your hands and wrist are getting inflamed, what you need to do is #1 wear gloves at all times when dealing with juni's #2 put lotion on inflamed limbs
#3if ya cant put up with the inflamed limbs give me the tree's
but overall amid the pain you suffering you done a bloody good job welldone , but if it was me i would have pinched out and thined the juni's before putting in bonsai pot so that way you can see branch structures alot better when they in grow pot, and you can work on them alot easier aswell
cheers dean (dragon)

i'm agreeing with dean there, but still good work
I like juni's.
ANd no. 1 is my fav i think

Pat

Thanks for the tip dean, i'll just put up with the pain for the love of the hobby

Start working with Natives as a better alternative.

Choose not to post on topics that dont agree with you

I find that working with natives much more rewarding, and no allergy's to contend with. As for not commenting what should I say.
You have said it yourself.
You do have a long journey ahead if you wish to persue this hobby.

Does that explain it for you ?
