Thought I would also post the first part of the chat that Brian lost...
[BrianBay9]: Hey, have you guys seen the juniper Mike P just posted?
[BrianBay9]: Thread is juniper repot
[RedPine]: so it will be btter,just posted..guess not.
[grampz]: just lookin at it
[BrianBay9]: I'm trying to decide if I like it or not.
[RedPine]: ok,same here...hmmm
[grampz]: have seen it several times...like the new pot...ain't it a beauty
[BrianBay9]: I'm haning in there with the base and the trunk, but the canopy has me hung up.
[RedPine]: i think if the foliage was worked i would like it better but i do think it is cool
[BrianBay9]: Yeah, nice pot.
[RedPine]: the trunk is really cool and original looking
[grampz]: this tree has a tendency to grow on you over a period of time...didn't like it the first time I
saw it...but my opinion has changed
[RedPine]: i don't like the gravel he using..
[BrianBay9]: I think I would change the potting angle. Tilt the tree down about 40 degrees to the left.
[RedPine]: it makes the pot and tree clash a bit
[grampz]: Mike does some really creative 'out of the normal' stuff...I appreciate his work a lot
[RedPine]: the foliage is hiding alot,i would like it better from the side view or if the foliage was worked
to reveal more branchline
[grampz]: yeah but purple gravel is so hard to find
As I stated Mike I was not impressed with this tree the first time I saw it, but have come to like it a lot...I really like the new pot, and the way the foilage is beginning to fill out...Look forward to watching it develop in years to come...I hope you can find those older photos, I would enjoy seeing them...Thanks for the update...
Regards
Behr
