Juni Needs a Style

Post by Amanda »

I'm just about to add this Juni for sale because I am undeniably screwed for other ideas and the needles cause me to itch uncontrollably each time I come into contact with it. I'm willing to persevere with the allergy if anybody can see anything greatly achievable to sway me from its' sale. Mind the pot, it is the only one I had on hand to maintain balance and erect the tree for ideas.

It measures 46" at the widest point.

Tilting the Juni greatly to the left, this photo below was the inspiration to follow, or close to it anyway but is this even achievable?

I think emulating walters tree is very doable with yours

You have lots of surplus branching to make long Jins out of, and they will be subple enough to move into position as well

I think you could definitely make a smaller version of Walter's tree and wear some gardening gloves when you work on Juni's :D
