Mr. John,
I have been working with a variety of trees [all broad-leafed] for quite a few years, training them in the 'live oak style', or even better, as Mr. Walter said the 'oak form'...Having spent a large part of my life in the Southern United States, I fully understand the way you feel about the wonderful 'live oaks' we have in abundance for inspiration...
I applaud you for attempting this form with a juniper...I think your efforts are progressing remarkably well and the tree is looking great...
Keep us updated, and now I have a new option when looking at junipers for possible bonsai candidates...
Regards
Behr
