San Jose Juniper Redux

The image is my San Jose juniper that made the WBC '02 list. Last year I changed pots, and this year I decided it was time to carry the style to the next level. It was tending toward the windswept, so I decided to go all the way. After a few hours of trimming, wiring and lime sulfering, this is the result.
The second image is how it looked in 2002.

Mike

Persist, and someday you may see the peak in sunshine. You may pick up the stone and it's a thing of beauty.
