Juniper Cascade Workshop with Colin Lewis
Last month, at Bill Valavanis' convention in Rochester, I participated in a Juniper Cascade workshop with Colin Lewis.
Bill had been growing the trees, described as 'Japanes Garden Junipers' for 10 years, and I expected procumbens, but they turned out to be j. squamata prostrata, according to Iris Cohen.
One of Colin's objectives was to teach jinning technique, so we all did our jins before doing any shaping of the trees themselves.
The first photo is Colin helping with another person's tree, the rest deal with my tree: a before shot, then two views after jinning and preliminary thinning and wiring.
