juniperus...Depressa Aurea
Posted: September 25th, 2016, 9:55 pm
This Depressa was heavily pruned almost back to deciduous form as I read that back budding is prolific even without any greenery remaining.
As I read a lot and believe most of what both Nursery men and of course Bonsai guru's say I thought it won't cost me that much as these prostate forms are readily available and a replacement should the 'end' be nigh would be as easy as going and staring again.
Well indeed this species does just that..It buds out profusely,wires/sets in an upward direction in a very short time and ramifies like it's an age far beyond.
A lot of work now begins with the pinching here and tweaking there to get more movement.
I have removed the main trunk wiring to get a feel for the time required to set the branches and am quite happy with the 80 day time elapse.
Both branches were flat at pot level when I began.
