Re: Juniper Hedge
Couldn't help myself with the great weather over the weekend. Fingers crossed I didn't go too hard on the Juni

Re: Juniper Hedge
Thanks for directing me about the ferts.. has done wonders and all junis have Greened up nicely including the one above I had gone hard on.
Now that I know they have all survived, I am a bit lost as to what shape to give this one. It's nearly a metre across and I am unsure which way to proceed so please chime in with any suggestions.
I thought of a cascade with the shorter side turned like a crescent moon (wind swept)
Thought if doing a whole lot of twisty bends for the long side and Jin the short side to make a literati
Lastly a simple literati but cutting the short side out and then turning the tree 90degrees.
What does this group think is the way to go with this?

Re: Juniper Hedge
Do you have pics from a few other angles? Ideally with a neutral background - makes it easier to see the structure.
My first thought is to shorten the long straight branch but maybe better to see the whole tree from a few alternate vantages first.

Yes, the username is misspelled: no, I can’t change it.

Re: Juniper Hedge
I couldn’t get the whole plant to fit in one pic so had to take multiple pics

Re: Juniper Hedge
Two and a half years later I finally took the plunge. It was difficult (mind) to drill holes into the base as I am scared I might lose both but no risk no reward I guess.. so I now have two from that one. Not great material I think but good to learn on.
The long one now becomes the tall one which I plan to make my first literati and the other I have no clue.. so will just grow on for now.
