2 Juniperis Squamata:




Shimpaku, after a light trim:


Dwarf Mountain Pine:


Japanese Maple:


My first attempt at wiring, some sort of conifer [I.d would be great] its not fully chopped as im still un sure on how i wanna finish it.
''Wind swept''




I can shoot some better pics tomorrow if need be.

Thank you in advance.

Hey mate, I really like number 2, not sure on the others.
Not bad attempt at windswept, you will get the hang of it.
You need to look at many pictures to get the feel of current styles.
I am terrible at anything computer wise so sorry no virts.
May I suggest joining a club, very helpful.

I like the second Juniper, but cannot see any branching so a bit hard to see where to go with it.
The maple I would trunk chop back to the first branch. Let that go mad till next year to thicken, then chop it again on the new leader. Then let a new shoot develop fopr the next year as well.
Then you hopefully will have a nice shaped trunk to develop some branching on

The others need to be cut back hard to develop foliage closer to the trunks and to be shortened. Or else plant out in the ground to thicken the trunks

Thank you mick, i think a club would be a great idea as im more of a visual learner.

I got impatient a while back and just got stuck into it.
