I agree with John, this treatment of junipers is profound. You probably won't find it in any book, yet apparently many bonsai masters employ it. I covered it again in this blog entry http://bonsainurseryman.typepad.com/
Scroll down to the REBS 2007 Show and read the critiques. I go over the procedure in one of the Sierra Juniper critiques and even have a macro showing the branching pattern and fine wiring. Examine all the junipers in this series, no foliage pads, no pinching. This is due to the work of Kathy Shaner and Boon, but mostly Shaner who is the club sensei and has worked with most of these tree owners.
