Found this juniper in the yard starved of light , I have cut it back and left all the green stuff (its not much i know).
It will survive and is comming back to life very well.
If anyone is bored could you please help me out with a vert for some extream idea's.

I dont know if i should use the large left branch for gin(when the time comes to cut) or grow it back and use the top for gin.
This Juni will make a nice shohin in a few years.
Cheers.

Look at cutting back to the first branch, feed and water, plenty of sunshine and be patient.When there is significant signs of regrowth, pot on into a good quality mix and keep feeding.Not a lot else to do at the moment. Good luck

Thanks .

yea i was going to leave it for 2 to 3 years, Im just looking for ideas when the time comes, The more the better.
Its on a diet to fatten it up as of one week ago.Also has new soil and soon a larger growing pot.

I am not doing anything to it now.

well get it healthy prob 6months then wrap and twist the hell out of it like a yamadori juni

yamadori juni sounds good cheers dayne.
Should i leave the bulk of whats left up top to get some gerth in the trunk?

Your Idea to just grow it is the best one. I wouldn't spend too much thought energy on its future just yet get it moving and spend a good few years pumping some growth into it.
