soz mate, my bad, i thought hugh said squamata, i didnt read properly!Jamie wrote:i must beg to differ with shimp being harder to bend, if the movement and bending is done early they are quite flexible, i have bent branches up to 5mm over on themselves without having them snap and i have bent up to 10-13mm branches/trunks without raffia around aswell, not over on themselves but with quite a fair but of movement, but thats my experiences, a little trick to get this sort of bending is to withhold water for a day or two, dunno why but it does help
>just put it down to bonsai induced sleep deprivation. 
Although i have got allot of potting, pruning and shaping done over the weekend so far!! stoked!!
It was lightly sprinkling rain all day here yesterday! Love It! im new to juniper's, never cared too much for them until i watched LF WOB
hey hope your going to take some picys of your lil (shimp in training) stockpile when you start working?? do you have them wired yet or too small??
Id like to get a cheap little shimp starter... (are they hard to find at garden nursery's??
cheers
happy sunday
