Re: Ugly juniper
Hi Pup, I would be interested to how it looks tilted to the left if you could post photos. maybe 15 degrees, maybe 25. It may flow better or be a little more dynamic, and make more sense with the trunk coming out at an angle. Then again it may not.

Hi ya gargar, I will do that tomorrow as nothing is set, as to where this tree will end up. It will be later tomorrow though as I have a busy day. Nothing Bonsai till I get home, around lunch time then water the small ones.

Re: Ugly juniper
Well it is update time for the Ugly Juniper. The last Tweak was a TWEAK TOO FAR. The tree has now gone from ugly to dead, I do still have avery nice pot though.

Re: Ugly juniper
Posting successes, is very satisfying, but we should also show our failures. Then try to work out why it failed. I said a tweak to Far was the problem. After taking the wire and bindings off I noted that the trunk had split lengthwise, also there was some fungal deposits there so water had set up a spot for the fungus.GavinG wrote:Thanks for posting the whole progression. It was certainly worth trying.

I feel that was part of the dying, as well, I now have some pieces of juniper wood for Tanuki.

Sorry it did not work out.
It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.
