Juniperus Procumben - 2007 to tonight

Post by Ryan1979b »

Hi everyone, been a bit out of touch laterly with working and life being way to busy for my liking and not having enough time for me trees. I have about 10 over due for re potting plus all the prunning, but they are all still healthy just a liitle wild :palm:

Anyway here is a procumben I have had for a quiet a while, and have been completely stuck on but I have slowly reduced over the years and think I'm at a stage where I think I can see a possile style emerging.

The plan is to grow out the branches as much as possible the mast likely Jin the top branches and leave the lower to develop tiered canopy. I would like to thicken the main braches and create a long bare interesting trunck line and work off that. I hope that makes sense :? hehehe

The vert lost a few more jins than expected but This is what I'm sort of aining for, I think :fc:

Good potential but i see it more as a tree with an Apex and long cascade branch.
