Thanks to Jow's and Steven's She-oak post i decided to give the twisted trunk style a go.
step 1. take one of your brother's neglected juni's.
step 2. add 3mm wire.
step 3. twist, bend and trim.
My brother now wants it back, say's it looks a lot better.
thanks Jow i think u have given us all a lot to think about and try.
cheers

Hey Strawbs don;t give it back
ONe of the othere VERY important tasks is to fertilise heavily. This precludes anyone having them that will "neglect" them.

Re: twisted Squamata mini
Nice job Strawbs!
Unfortunately i gave away about 50 Juniperus procumbens nana and 50 juniperus squamata prostrata last year. They were all about the size of yours. If i had them back, i would wire every single one of them and after a couple of years, sell them all but the best 4 or so. Ohwell.

Re: twisted Squamata mini
Nice one Strawbs!
In a couple of years you (or your brother
) will have a bonsai worthy of note!
Why not try some of this extreme shaping with a native or 2?

Steven
