Thought I better post a photo of this juniper. I don't know if I'm doing this correctly, but the growth appears slow to me. Anyway, it is progressing and I hope it will continue to do just that.

Gee, there is hardly a change from December to March, perhaps I need to fertilize more?

No, not much change Watto. Bloody lovely little pot.

Thanks Bodhi, its Chinese and of quality.

Also a nice one Watto
All mine a fairly slow at this time of year too

Thanks Ken, maybe I worry too much. You can see some subtle changes, but from May 2013 to now not a lot has happened. I sometimes wonder why we often tell beginners to get a juniper to start?

The June photo. I have exposed a bit more of the nabari and put a bit more wire on.

Yep tend to agree with you, but over the years they tend to live along time and changes are subtle. I still love'm though. Watto your little bloke has come a fair way, just look back over your posted pics, see what you think, you'll be surprised
Cheers Rod

Well, time for my final photos for the comp.
This bonsai has continue to improve in my opinion and is now able to be exhibited. I still need to do a lot of work over the coming years and that will include lowering the first branch, thining and shortening the second branch, filling in the gap in the apex on the right hand side and of course the usual re-potting, fertilizing and watering - and the occassional spray to keep the baddies at bay. I do like the fresh "redish" colour of the bark and the nabari and fully intend to show this in a seven point shohin display - soon.

Great little tree watto.

I would like to continue with this one please.
I know it is a bit hairy but I like to keep it with plenty of foliage until spring is looming. It is currently about 23 cm tall.

Just a quick update, nothing to really report.

Here is the next post, still not a lot of change but there is work in the wings - trust me!

I hope the work planned doesn't include changing that pot Watto... cos that's awesome - perfect for this juniper.

Don't do anything drastic. It looks pretty cool
