Needle junipers - Vandal damage

[alpineart]

These have been hanging around the yard for too long so I decided to rip into them and hack and chop some very basic styles out , they can hang around for another few years . This was ripped out with a excavator a couple of months ago during a re-design of the terraces, it has sat out of the ground with no care at all

This has been here for around 9 years , purchase at a market for $2 it had no appeal and probably still hasn't . I have made a rough Phoenix Graft out of it

. This one was salvaged from a dump master during a conversion of the local hardware been in this tub for about 5 years so it had wire placed onto the straight vertical trunks and left alone , a quick hack and chop and a bit of contorting this can go back into the yard for a few more years .

. I have a couple of other Juniperus Communis which have have Juniperus Shimpaku grafting to them , they need removing from the ground in order to finish off the grow beds .

Just goes to show what you can do with very ordinary stuff and an eye for a cool tree!
Onya for rescuing all these...they are going to shape up great!
Inspiring!

Hi Thymetraveller , its good to be a bit of a vandal every now and again , It certainly has improved the stock 10 fold , even worth keeping now . I was contemplating tossing these on the fire which is stacked with rejects and trimming ready to light . Took my mind off family issues for half the day .

Cheers . Alpine
