Hi Hugh,

Mate I have to say your 2 junipers are spectacular! Fantastic vision with these trees, truly amazing work

so much in the past id seen this technique used not to the best of its possibility. Recently though ive opened up to its possibilities and am very excited by what could be achieved with this technique when done well. This tree has been an exploration of how i can achieve a reasonable result.
thanks for the kind works im glad you like it

Thankyou very much Kez appreciate the kind feedback

Nice....

I enjoyed your tree, and that is what trees are supposed to do. Bring us joy.

slip potted this one without too much root disturbance to this pot, i think the combo work well enough
now the tree can sit nicely at the angle it was designed at

You have done a good job! I like it!

Hey Hugh!

i have some junipers that i'd like to try the tanuki style with. very nice composition Hugh.
Just one question, did you treat the deadwood at all? if so before or after you attached the tree?

thanks Ken
plan is to let it the new growth extend out till the end of comp to get the tree to gain more strength and hence foliage density.

Hi mate
yes ive treated the dead wood with lime sulpher but first cleaned and brushed back any grime and loose layers of wood. I did it a few months after it was attached, when i styled the tree. will give another application again at the end of winter.

My final submission for this tree.
Future:
The plan is to build thickness in the foliage mass particularly in the apical area. Hoping to refine the dead wood also slightly.

Hi Hugh Grant,
Exceptional foresight, work, styling and potting.

Regards,

Love before and after WTF photos!

Any posts with major WTF work of before and after gets the big kudos

I bought this one off Hugh at the market day.

Have been letting it grow out since then and have removed all wire.





Current height is about 26cms it's going to be hard to keep this one under 25cm!
