Good score mate. When I first saw this tree it reminded me of a famous penjing juniper thats over 400yrs old here's a pic.
Yours would probably be better than this one in 390yrs :lol:

Always good to get something you can just bung straight into a bonsai pot and not have to worry about exstensive training, nice find.
