Definitely the Mugo. But bring a spare as suggested/recommended.

Great options, Option 1 certainly has a lot of character doesn't it, as does the juniper semi-cascade.

Last JRP looks good Matt.
Neil the first black you posted has some interest, mugo is difficult to see but the overall silhouette looks good.
See you soon.

Off to a great start for Bonsai Week. Everyone had an enjoyable day, including Pavel who worked on this old Tanuki style Juniper.

I have been following on Facebook and have been impressed with the quality of material he has been working.
Are there plans for him to work less predictable stock where he can show off the heavy bending etc he is famous for?
