bwaynef,
"I'd probably remove the low branch on the right"
I was thinking about doing this very thing but I thought I would let it sit for a year to decide. No hurry to cut off what I cant put back on. Also, I need to adjust that bottom left foliage pad down a bit.

Staselwood,
It is amazing the difference that detail wiring makes. I will let them rest for the remainder of the year and maybe re-wire them next year. I repotted them into bonsai soil (Lava, pumice, turface, haydite) right away. I left any field soil that was worked deep into the roots but these junipers respond very well to inorganic soil, fertilizer and lots of water. I will remove the remaing field soil at the next repotting. Both of these junipers have already filled their containers with fine new feeder roots.

Where is Hanover Ohio? I am up by Cleveland.
