As some of you may know I am flying out to Europe for 6 weeks in 3 days. I Greatfuly recieved a consession to style my tree in advance due to the fact that I will not be around for the main period of spring. Not withou consiquences tho as I have to submit my entry in advance to compensate for the earlymark. I appreciate the consession

Here is my first styling along with a photo of the stock this morning with todays paper.

A quick update on my Juni, not to much change just constant picking and trying to get the left side to keep growing out as much as possible. Once this happend I think It will add a lot more ballance. I think I may also lower the lowest righth branch but I might have a think about that for a while..hehehe

Ryan, you say you want the left side to grow more! then you should stop pinching or pruning this side, and concentrate on pinching the right side to push the energy to the left.

Cheers Pup

[Ryan1979b]

Hey pup, that's spot on what I have been doing , I'm trying to let the strongest 3-4 branches on the grow as quick as they can. Fingers crossed they will make it

Cheers

Entry update, Not to much has happened, the growth has slowed down quiet a bit throughout Autumn.

Cheers, Yeh a little plug for them...hehehe

Just a little heads up, noticed you were from Port Stepehens. Have you been to the Nursery at medowie along Grahamstown Road around the Dam. He is a wholesale nursury mainly in citrus trees but also has a fair few portential bonsai starters. I spoke to the owner while ago who has been bonsaiing for a while now and its definitly worth a look around

[Nathan]

very nice tree, you should be very happy with what you have produced

Thanks Ryan, I normally drop thru Old farm Nursery every other week, either harrassing David or collecting moss.

just abit of advice you might want to take some of the moss off it as junipers like to stay dry and moss on them sometimes can cause rott, what you could do is collect it like im doing, looks nice though
