Procumbins Juniper

newt1

I picked this one up at a nursery in Grand Rapids for $15. He had brought it in from the cold recently for something to play with. It has already broken dormancy so I will need to keep it indoors under lights till spring (don't worry I have done this many times in the past). I do not have before pictures handy but will update my blog with them tonight or tomorrow, you can also see better resolution photos on my blog.

What do you think? Which front do you prefer? I have my favorite but was wondering what others thought.

great work newt looks fantastic. 34 is very nice but 36 with a bit of tweaking in the planting angle could be a winner.

Thank you both for your replies! 34 was my front. Now that I am seeing it in 2D I am actually liking 33.

Other thoughts?

Thanks!!!

Newt

Nice juniper Newt. I also prefer #34 because of the movement in the trunk. Not sure about the jin hanging down unless it is being kept as an anchor.

A gem in the making.

Good for you Newt, that's a really nice deal. What might be the name of this nursery

Thanks all!

It's Jon Holwerda's. I am not sure if he has a site. I know him through the Michigan All State Shows.

P.S. I have the before pictures posted on my blog (see link below) now if you are interested.
