Hey Aaron,

Nice little Juniper. I think this is the first attempt at a broom with a juniper that I've seen. My understanding of a broom, though, is that the primary branching pattern is very regular. Trunk branches into two nearly equal branches, each of those branch into two nearly equal, which then branch into two....etc. It's probably not possible to do that forever, but you might want to think about establishing two branches from the main trunk, then working on two branches from those primary branches.

Or, I may be wrong. I dont actually have a broom myself. I'm trying to get a couple started though.

Cheers
Brian
