i did a search for blaauw junipers and only found 4 different trees so i figured id post a recent creation for everyone to have a look at. feel free to tell me what you think, good or bad as thats the only way im going to learn. please forgive my wiring i know it a bit shoddy but out of all my junipers this is the only one that bits back while wiring so i wanted it done as quick as possible.
figured since i can id try a video

Re: blaauw juniper
You have some lovely complex curves in the main trunk, this should end up being a very fine tree.
Just for my 2c worth, the apex branch could possibly come down a bit, so that it's pointing west, along with the main trunk, not going off at a tangent. Maybe the top two branches on the right from the main trunk might end up a bit shorter or lighter? I'm sure you've got plans for where it's going.
Good tree, keep showing us how it goes,

Re: blaauw juniper
thanks im actually some what surprised how it turned out, i never would have thought it would have looked like it does when i bought the stock. it only looks like it does because after i root pruned it it fell over in the pot and i thought oh that looks interesting its funny how these thing happen sometimes. with the apex im going to let the tree grow for a year or 2 to let it recover and to see what other branches grow.
