Shohin Juniper Styling

Post by Scott Martin »

Here's a little one that's just been finished.

Sits about 19cm tall and has a really nice shape to it. There's a nice shari that runs up the back of it too.

Really nice little juni. Why is it so far to the left in the pot though? To my untrained eyes it would look more balanced if it were further to the right....maybe.. :lost:
jarrod.

Thanks guys.

Jarrod it should be a little further over but the pot is only 10cm wide so without taking off major roots it's not possible. There is a bigger root under the sphagnum moss on the right side that will balance it out a little more.

Gotcha..... I hope you can move it further over later because it's a lovely little tree and looks like a nice tree and pot combination. Good work.

Great little tree, Scott :) Looks great,
My only constructive criticism is also being too far left, but you are already aware of this. Are you going to work at rectifying that over the next couple of years?

Thanks Raymond.

Hi Nathan. Yep it will be worked on, we'll just wait until the root structure improves and then we'll see what we can do.

Great job Scott :tu:
What type of Juni is it and where did it come from? How long did the entire restyle take you?

Regards,
Steven

Thanks Steven. I think it's a Chinese Juniper. It's got both the juvenile prickly foliage and the scale foliage. Could be wrong though. I've styled this for someone so I'm not sure of the tree's origins.

The restyle took about 30-40 mins and about 15-20 mins for the repotting. To be honest there wasn't much involved in the repot, mainly in pot selection to suit the tree and not be too big.

Just came across this little beauty, hope it's still going strong. If there has been any changes I'd love to see an update photo of this one Scott.

Cheers,
Pearcy.

Hi Pearcy,

This was styled for someone and I've lost contact with the tree unfortunately. Sorry I can't give you any updates.
