While this tree is loaded with foliage, it is mostly high on the trunks. It has three trunks that could pass as a triple trunk, but no branch structure to use. The trees needed to be pruned back hard sooner in their growth cycle to get branches lower on the trunks. The other four have much the same problems.
But this one has something that the others do not. It wants to play right at the crotch of all those trunks. I would buy this tree, prune all three trunks off, convert them to very small jins, and work the large 2" trunk into a very nice shohin shimpaku juniper.
