After all the reading and looking, I feel kind of comfortable looking at deciduous trees. Well, I say that, maybe I'm confused, but at least I kind of see a tree. With junipers, I don't see a tree. At least, not the kind of trees that I see pruned and wired from nursery stock in books and here. They all seem so low to the ground, or so straight and upright, that I just don't see a tree. So, basically, can someone give me some pointers on what I'm looking for besides the standard trunk and nebari?
I've attached two pictures of one I found in a nursery this morning, but again, just can't see the final product as a beginner. It looked very neglected, I don't think they sell a lot of junipers and this may have been sitting here for quite some time. This picture is without the huge clump of grass that I found in the gallon pot.
