Procumbens Juniper; Slant style
I picked up this larger P. juniper at Kims on my way to the GSBF convention last Oct. 2007. It was in a 5 gallon container and was in a block of stock that had grown thru the containers and into the ground. The problem with this juniper was that the stock had grown so much that all the inner foliage had died back and many of the branches had died all together.
I picked out this specimen to work on as a project due to the strong trunk line. It bolts from the soil at a good angle and has a pretty good nebari for a juniper. The roots and their angle of attack give the base great power and will help sell the story of a slanting bonsai.
