Re: big juniper
Holy smokes Andy that has the potential to be a real cracker!
I like the back view enough for a front. Have you got a whole pic of it from the 'front' you are using? How tall is it by the way?
Is it in a grow box or in a bed in the ground?

Re: big juniper
Can I just ask roughly what percentage of foliage did you remove when you dug it up?
