I am planning to do one at the School show as a demo, so yep happy to do one now
Just do not touch the roots at the same time. Leave that for 6 - 12 months after recovering.

Did my Demo today at the school show here viewtopic.php?f=25&t=16597&p=169201#p169201
and potted this one up as part of the show

Happy with the way it is developing, and will now concentrate on building foliage pads and ramification ove rthe next 11 months or so.
I will repot next spring to fine tune the position in this pot depending on the foliage development I will achieve over the intervening time

I like everything you have done up to now. Just dont get the small branch in the pocket. You can Drop a branch behind from the apex. That is how they do it in Japan.
I have started writing my articles on Junipers...but have been so busy not much done yet.

Can I bring my juni So you can bend it also?

[kcpoole]

Which branch in the "pocket" Neli?

No worries I can do you bending if you like If you can get them into OZ, then I can bend, or better sttill, Fly me over to you and i can do there

I dare say neli is referring to the first right branch inside the first bend. I thought it looked a little odd myself.
The tree looks amazing though and is coming along well.

Very cool Ken, and could be a winner. I think the bottom right hand branch also looks a little out of place. Could develop the one above.?

Quite possibly doable, There are are a few other small branches around there to maybe use. That one you mention Bodhi is a concern. definitely will be doing more and maybe might be to just reduce it some more.
Thanks Golgotha I will look at that some more thru the week and see what is happening. amazing what you see in trees in a photo
