Cascade Juniper- Initial Styling
Hi all
With the weather as good as it is at the moment here in England, I could not resist giving this Juniper its initial styling before the winter sets in. No work was done on the roots, hence the large growing box, and the wiring was kept to a minimum to avoid stressing the tree to much.
This is another one of the 10 air-layers from my garden juniper, which have been growing strongly for over 18 months. I have another 7 standing around in pots ready for styling next year. From a suggestion on this froum I am feeling a group planting (yose-ue)coming on.
Anyway, here is the newly styled cascade.
The species is Juniperus squmata Meyerii "Blue Carpet". Total height of the planting is 40cm (16inches)from the lowest tip to the apex. The pot is 20cm (8 inches wide).
I would love to hear your comments and any virtuals (if you have nothing better to do)
Regards
Mike
