Juniperus procumbens
Next some thinning and pinching on a Shimpaku. This Juniperus chinensis procumbens (Japanese Garden Juniper) was grafted with three scions of shimpaku juniper. It needs about three more. At this time some thinning needs to be done to enable light to penetrate. Otherwise the foliage load will exceed its roots ability to sustain it, and the branching will become coarse from rapid growth.
This series just shows some overall views of the tree in its training pot (a bulb container) I couldn't prune the shimpaku foliage as much as I would have liked because I need some strong shoots from it for future grafting on other branches.
