This California juniper is about 10 years in the pot. It was dug in the jawbone canyon area in Mojave. Tree is about 60/80 years old. It had come to be that the deadwood portion of the modeling was going along pretty well. The problem was that the foliage was growing straight up and had become a problem to me. The plant was just not performing as planned.

The plant has sat with the wire on and had become fairly scarred. the wire has been removed three months ago and some of the wire is still burried in places that I can't get to. It will have to stay, since the tree just grew right over the wire.

Fertilizing heavily last year and this year had put on much new growth. Looking at the tree in an upright position was just not doing it for me. I began looking for alternatives. When the trunk was cleaned of the branching that could not be used, the trunk became more ugly. The straight portion of the lower trunk looked funny against the curving large jin area. The jin area is the focal portion of the tree, and something would have to be done to help conceal the lower trunk while acccentuating the jinned trunk.
