big juniper

[anttal63]

Rod; That virt is the ticket for that juniper! dayne probs solved. i will say though, that when you do that kind of shari up the length of the trunk, wrapped, spined and wired properly, get the trunk bender's out, it will bend like butter and therefor can be compressed further.

Jamie; For the tree as is in Rod's virt, i like the drum pot the best. How ever, in the last couple of years i have conformed to believing that a juni looks best when the live vein has been brushed and polished and the pot depicts these colors. For example's sake;

yea mate, workers comp i am on now. cant work at all does give me more time for bonsai when i can move though, digging is a no go at this stage, operation could be on the cards bit scared bout it actually.

as for the pots in virts no prob mate, i will either show ya when we catch up again or will write up a how to on it and email it to ya

11 foot i know its a typo i think 11 inches will be a good size for this tree.

good luck hunting it down, i actually have a pot that size probably the right colour too.
i will measure it up for ya tomorrow and we might be able to sort something out!
