I don't see any problem with developing a forest from seedlings. Indeed that's a very common practice to use to develop material. And the trees can grow much faster with room for their roots to spread than they might in individual bonsai pots

Caliper differences can be achieved by managing the growth of the trees, through the use of selective pruning and escape branches.

I think that particular variety of juniper has foliage that is very difficult to work with, though.

Regards,

Matt
