It Once was a Cascade Juniper

Yep agree with Sean

looks more proportioned and the Jin will set it off nicely. A nice pot is all you need. Well done

Cheers RodM

Thanks for the feedback Sean and RodM.

Will certainly be rearranging the branches a little, but overall vigour is my aim for the rest of this season. I think I've hassled it enough over the last month.

I like but I woud remove the topmost bit of foliage to lower the apex a little

Ken

Thanks Ken. If you have the power go ahead and change the title

...or just wire the top down to compact it.... Looks better.

Done and better than Ex cascade!, That sounded terminal

A much better tree coming through now and i also agree to wire the apex down a little more.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. The apex will definitely get wired into a better position.

I will wait for the tree to regain some vigour after the initial restyling last month and the removal of the cascade section will hopefully redirect some energy into the bit of the tree that is left.

A fair way to go with this one but it is a much better tree as an informal upright

How's she looking Theo?

Jarad

She looks a bit like this.

I took all the fine wiring off as it was starting to bite and haven't got around to rewiring it.

Has put on a bit of growth but have also pinched it a fair bit to thicken up some pads.

A few years of refining to do yet!

I love that trunk! So magnificent ... really nice!

Lookin good Theo! I like how it looks so gnarly. I think that first left branch needs some bends in it to suit the rest of the tree.

Will you be adding some texture to the jin by carving or pliers?

Theodore · Post by **Theodore** » April 16th, 2016, 7:43 am

Jarad

The first branch will certainly get some bends in it.

The wife has been sent a photo detailing the Dremel that will do the job and with my birthday in June, I'm hoping she delivers

I'm thinking the Jin will turn into a shari over time.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement.
