Gunna thin it down to one trunk and bend the crap out of it.
Then add a branch or two and uh, voila.

Re: [Jarad] Juniperus chinensis 'Shimpaku'
Looks like this one has a great little root spread Jarad. I really like the slanted direction that it is currently flowing in. Is that the ultimate plan? Great little pick up for 16 clams if you ask me!

Re: [Jarad] Juniperus chinensis 'Shimpaku'
Thanks Pearcy, that was the first thing that caught my eye, that nice thick base.
You can't actually see a lot of the bends in the tree at the moment, I will be thinning it out and wiring more branches next time I get a chance to sit down with it. Slanting with crazy bends is the ultimate goal.

Hey Pearcy,
Not really, I moved to the UK back in June and haven't been able to work on my trees. I'll be back in Oz in March, so I can give an update then. Cheers for touching base though!
