cascade-raft style shimpaku forest on rock
Hi all, I just spent an afternoon working on this tree. It is a shimpaku juniper that I had since 2001 from a nursery. It was potted in the large plastic pot for growing out in the last 5 years. Now I finally get around to working on it this afternoon.
I had many options for styling this tree because it has many large and long branches to choose from, but I decided to keep all of the major branches and style it as a raft style forest. Then I just found this rock from an aquarium fish store, and it gave me an idea of putting this tree into it. I am done with it for today. Exhausted actually. Maybe next weekend I will get around to doing the final trimming and fine wiring. I had the camera out already today so I just take pictures of it, eventhough it is not finished yet. Any comments or critiques are welcommed.
Si
