Good Morning All,
Repotted my favourite Juniper today and gave it a slight hair cut, hopefully opening it up enough for everyone to see some sort of potential in it.
Feel free to give your critique and imput as always.

Re: Opinions on Squamata
The biggest thng that view has over the others is trunk movement.
Branches need to be shortened, thinned and wired too

Re: Opinions on Squamata
I agree with mick because the movement of the trunk is the nicest of them
a tree ( unless formal upright or broom) shodu not really have a straight section of trunk poking vertically out of the ground. Trees need Movement and shape straight from the soil to provide interest.
