Al,

I like it. One question, though: is there any rule of thumb about how much foliage one can remove from a juniper? (Silly question, perhaps; it probably depends on the species.) I ask because I had a needle juniper that I had greatly reduced and started training as a windswept. I had posted some photos of it around here somewhere. Coming out of last winter, it died. I think it was primarily because I didn't realize that it seriously needed repotting, and I should have done that rather than starting any work on it. But some folks here seemed to think that I had reduced it way too much.

Thanks!
