The wiring on this juniperus is not very clear from the photo, the wires do go around the trunk at least once - not ideal but it works due to the thickness of each wire. I would anticipate these wires will come off by early autumn as this juniper lignifies quite quickly. The foliage will require another pinching later on in the year once its grown out slightly to define the shape.

Thanks for the virtual i will keep it for referance - any chance someone could do a virtual of the other tree here?

As to buying some more trees - i now prefer to style from collected pieces and i have too many potensai waiting to be done. I want to also try the method i saw somewhere using the hardwood centre with saplings stapled to it.
