Thought I would share the progression of a little juniper.
Tree in 2005....
in 2008....
November 2009 a radical change from this...
to this....
And finally the pot to finish it all off in 2010.
I think it is heading in the right direction.

Re: Restyle of Juniper
The trunk line is exceptional. It needs something light, clear and directional at the end. The hunk contains it, it's up to you to find it.
Good luck, great start,
Gavin

Re: Restyle of Juniper
I dont know how i missed this one but i did!
you have made a great transformation, I agree with KC here, i would wire out what you have there to work with, then remove branching that wont work, that way you wont cut a branch and then think - CRAP i needed that
