2 very nice trees there to get your teeth into :yes:
They will have lots of options and features to exploit and learn about, you will learn heaps with them I think.

Nice stock and well done on enrolling in the course you will gather a great deal from it

Looking forward to seeing the first styling of your trees

You may as well start now planning where you are going to build your benches and start clearing space for all of the trees you will by once you are hooked

I think the juniper I will make into an informal upright... it has a real good s bend all the way to the top...

Not sure yet about the trident, I chose it for the nebari
