As the 2016 Ausbonsai Community Market Day is fast approaching I thought it appropriate that I show a juniper what I acquired at the previous happening. My story is I helped out a mate by taking this off his hands, and his story probably is I ripped him off by getting this too cheap, but in any case that's not the story, the story is this quick progression.
I am not sure but I think its a Juniper X media that is an urban yamadori and I think it is showing signs of coming along quite nicely.
The first set of photos shows the tree in June so the foliage is a bit brown/purple but trust me it was quite healthy.

That "masked man" in the background of the previous photos is Mauro Stenberger who helped with the initial styling.

Re: Juniper - Previous Ausbonsai Community Market Day
The proposed pot is an old Japanese pot that looks a lot bigger in the photo than it actually is, and if things go to plan I will put it in its new pot this year.

Bonsai is an art of shrinking.
