Re: [shibui] shimpaku
All compliments gratefully received Simon. I showed this juniper as part of a shohin display at Canberra Bonsai exhibition last weekend.
Keels posted a picture of it the other day - viewtopic.php?f=25&t=22885&start=15

Re: [shibui] shimpaku
Update for this juniper.

Re: [shibui] shimpaku
Maintenance and refinement continue as before. Regular finger pinching and occasional thinning with scissors.
