Sargent Juniper

Here is a Sargent Juniper that I got for $65 ($40 US) at the Victorian Bonsai Association show in Oct '02. The tree is approx 35cm tall.


Any suggestions on the tree's future would be considered and appreciated.

....but then....Jase1972 found out he wasn't attaching the photo properly and raised his hand sheepishly and cried, "help please"

Your tree looks great and I like it the way it is. Just have to work on filling out the lower branch folage and creating fuller folage pads.

I actually supplied soil at the show which was snapped up in the first hour. It was a good show with some great trees.

I like the tree the way it is. LivingArts virtual removes the lower branching. I disagree with what was done in that virtual, the lower branching adds the look of age and is needed.

Jase,
I agree with Charlie B. You have done well. the only options I can think of is since you are totally wired I would move the branches into lower positions a little below horizontal . This will give a more dramitic effect. Shimpys tend to go back up after offwiring ( A word?) so this will also conteract that as well.

On the next repot you might could lower the root mass to get your root spread slightly deeper.
