A big juniper cascade
Things have been a bit slow around here, so I thought I would post some pice of a Juniper I acquired 6 weeks ago. I just finished the initial styling last week. Unfortunately, I don't have any 'before' pics... when I find a good piece of stock, I'm always too anxious to hold off work on it before photographing it. Suffice it to say that it was basically a large bush with very lush growth. The tree is 40" wide and 24" tall. I also apologize for the relative poor quality of the photos. The tree is too big and awkward to move at the moment.
The first and second pics are of the front and back, respectively. It's impossible to see from the pictures but the first major downward bend in the cascading trunk is courtesy of a turnbuckle. The third and fourth try to show the movement and branching of the cascading trunk.. The apex of the tree is actually the least developed part of the tree right now and I havn't wired it out yet.
