You can email them to yourself, when prompted select medium or small size for the attachments. Otherwise there is an app called Resizify. Either way you end up with duplicatesSuomi wrote:I can't work out how from iPhone sorry.. Noob

I'm seeing a nice windswept design in there. Involves losing a lot though I guess

Re: What to do with this juniper?
Taking your first image, Apply wire and bend further to make a cascade
Use the branching on the outside to develop small foliage pads and run Shari all the way around the outside of the curve.
A few Jins and happy days![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: What to do with this juniper?
Sounds like a great idea bud.. One issue is that branch has a break on the underside and has a shari the whole length too..kcpoole wrote:Taking your first image, Apply wire and bend further to make a cascade

Re: What to do with this juniper?
Is the break the cause of the Shari? Will it effect the strength of the tree long term? If the Shari is already their and the tree strong enough slow twist readjustment as the branch lengthens to make the natural Shari visible and you have no issue. The veiw can explore all the way back up the branch following it. Over time it will thicken and wood around budge. Not a problem but a bonus. [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Re: What to do with this juniper?
The branch is about 20mm thick and very brittle and where the shari and the break is, it is very set in this position too.
There is no taper to the branch and just out of the photo there is a big flat cut off point that has not healed well at all..

Maybe then just get it healthy and grow on and see where the tree takes you in a years time
