Juni Squamata ‘Pingii’ - thoughts on re-styling please.

Post by MJL »

I bought this tree home from a styling night at the YVBS around 6 months ago. Today, I removed wires that were starting to dig in.

Tomorrow I might re-pot and re-style. I am thinking semi cascade to better use/hide an ugly right had bend near the base. Any thoughts?

I don’t really like it upright like below

Of course I could chop it right back or dry it out and bend it like Beckham - options.

Time for a drink to ponder. :-)

I like the second last pic. It is suited well to a cascade with minimal re-styling, shaping.
Cheers, Frank.
