bonsaiTALK Community - View Single Post - new shimpaku juniper - really great price. what would u do? (Massive Pics Warning!)

i have some rootone and someother powered rooting hormones or should i use somehting else? the tree had the wire on it already when i purchased it 2 days ago for $15. i dont have to much experiance with junipers in general, so i dont really know what can be done with one cutting back and pinching etc.. i just felt it would be a good learning tree for the price and has a fairly thick trunk already so maybe it could be a nice bonsai one day. but ill def take it slow before i do anything major to it.
