This is one of the Juniper Sabina -Savin Juniper collected recently along with many others . This was long and leggy with too much material and a lot of waste . I have decided that this along with another one has more than 1 trunk worthy of using .
I used a sabre saw to split the trunks down to a more usable plant .
They still have impressive trunks with plenty of character
however i will most likely inarch graft Shimpaku Juniper onto the smaller of the two or graft more Savin juniper back onto the lower trunk .
It will make for a very impressive Shimpaku with attitude and plenty of carving to be had on this 150mm base.
The remaining larger trunk has various options from
informal upright
to semi cascade ,
there is even the possibility of a huge raft style in there if i was inclined to layer another section off .
I’m looking forward to the next couple of years designing and styling these big buggers into something quite unique . Now 8 big trunks become 9 and no doubt i could split a couple more to increase my future stock .
