NEW SHOHIN JUNIPERS

Post by Dave54 »

Hi guys,
mentioned on another thread (that I can't find) that I just took delivery of 17 old but neglected junipers. 11 Squamata Prostrata and 6 Shimpaku.
The intention is to style, pot up and sell either on e-bay or on this site, while promoting the art and development of Shohin or mini bonsai.

PLEASE IGNORE THE UNSUITABLE GLAZED POTS as they were all I had in the required size and the new owners will eventually pot them into a pot they deserve.
I am guessing the trees are about 12-15 years old, but I may be wrong.
This is the first of 3 designed yesterday afternoon. After a few feeds and some new shoots they will be offered for sale
Don't be too harsh in critique as there wasn't too much foliage to work with and I don't want to scare off any prospective purchasers.
cheers
Dave

HI dave
I like the second pic the best ( with the slant pot).

If the top one is the final, then the foliage needs to exted to the right somewhat
