Juniperus Literati - I hope

I have one more juniper to show. I have done nothing with this one, other than potting it and supporting it. It grew from a crack on a rockface. All I needed was a crowbar and out came rootbal. The small Lutzula came with the rootball,

Does this tree have what it takes to become a literati? I must confess, I fand this style the hardest to work with. Help wanted and needed

What you do with the foliage can only make the tree stronger. I would remove the "lutzula" (gotta love that word) and give it its own pot; it will make a great accent for this tree and let the tree have the pot to itself.

I have only seen half a dozen really nice ones. It is my favorite style and I do not have a good one..........sigh. Can't wait to see how this one turns out. Do keep us posted.
