Juniper Prostrata

Post by joe cervantes »

This is a Juniper I did at a club workshop last month. Not sure where to go with this. I am a newbie. Goin on 6 months. I may use this as a practice tree for now, wiring, bending, jin, shari,etc. Any ideas welcomed . Thanks, Joe

Thanks Antonio. Since my last post I noticed that the lowest branch on the right had turned very pale and the foliage is very dry. Looks like I might have to take it off. I lke your idea, however I didnt see a red line in the pic, just the blue one. Thanks, Joe
