Shimpaku Juniper - New Front Idea
I recently bought a Shimpaku Juniper. The Trunk reminds me of a text book 3 stage trunk chop. The front the nursery had it positioned in doesnt exactly scream out wooot! so im looking for a new front so I can begin styling it.
The 2 pics below are Fronts that I have decided to try out but picking one between the other is proving difficult as they are both similar but different. |

That is some great old looking bark, it's gonna be a tuff call really choosing a front without being able to see the trunk lines and the base choices. Can you wire/hold back the lush foliage for a few pics and then get some good marcos of the base choices?

ok took some more pics. give me some time to crop em and I will seperate em then post. I took - top, bottom, 3 trunk specifics and angled sides of both fronts. Nebari will need to wait a bit longer for good pics. the newest pics should give a better idea of the trunk and the choice branches.

Shim front #1 - Set 1 (Top, Bottom and Mid)
Here you can see that if I chose Front #1 one of the branches I would have to wire to create a better form. These also show the over all spread of Front #1. The top would be wired to the right and down to fill in that gap and some of the minor branches would be cut away to seperate the platforms. Next set will be the mid section underbelly spread of all that bush you see around the 2nd chop... Interesting thought Al. Unfortuante thing is that the mid section you have going up for a Jin is not that straight up. Cool edit by the way. Last edited by Moleque_san : 25-Jun-2007 at 11:15 PM. |

Here is Front#2 - Top, Bottom and Mid
Here you can see the mid sections spread. I have a Tip pic but these should play the fair game between the choices for now unless even more specific close ups are needed. I must admit...trying to take the same photos for your options is something rather difficult to accomplish. |
