what time of year would be good to remove one of the trunks?
also any ideas on what i could use instead of raffia to bend the trunk? i cant find any where to buy raffia in my town. ebay has it for about $40 thats a bloody joke.

Re: my first juniper
Get yourself a hula skirt. Ryan Neil says this is the best raffia. Strange, I know. Just make sure it's real raffia instead of cheap plastic. Some people have also used bicycle inner tubes with good results. Peter Tea says they use plastic rope at Aichi-en.bazron wrote:what time of year would be good to remove one of the trunks?
