Hi xsalvador,
If you are keen you could try a literati bonsai or another option would be to chop it back short and start again with an informal upright.
Nice find though.
Cheers

Hi Mate,
I think what Brad said for this tree is a good move.If a literati is a bit to hard for you now,then cut it back in the spring & feed it up.
Cheers Gib

Re: I need Advice for Juniper Squamata
It is difficult to obtain a large trunk on these junipers and it looks a little out of balance because of this. Feed the tree lots and take some more foliage of the top (thin it out) and that will balance it a little until it fattens up.

Re: I need Advice for Juniper Squamata
This 2 has to stay in that pots al least 6 mounts Hopefully I will get good foliage.
also I have one more but that one was so long and it wasn't interesting
Thast why I dig a hole and put middle of trunk there. I used this Technic before and it worked. I hope I will get roots from that area and I will have 3 junipers in this summer
