Re: juniper squamata 2
Hi Antonio,
Great to see you are still tweaking this squamata. I quite like the the new front, you have lost those awkward straight sections of trunk that were in the previous front, which is great. I can't help thinking that the deadwood needs reducing a bit, I just reckon that it really dominates the tree so much due to its sheer size. If you look at the picture that Anth uploaded there seems to be a better visual balance between tree and jin, I think because the masses of the 2 elements are closer in size to one another. Regardless of whether you change the deadwood or not, I look forward to seeing where you take this tree next.
Cheers,
Mojo

I read somewhere that the best contorted Junis are from Taiwan which were grown for 20 plus years min before being on sold to a master artists globally.. pics were amazing
