Nice little juniper, i did a quick virtual, sorry for the quality.

I think you need to get a bit more of a bend in the trunk line. Also the branch coming from the inside arch of the lowest curve has to go, it is alos a bar branch for the lowest outside one.

i cant tell if you have any back branches, but id suggest swinging the third one back there to fill in area...

As per the pic below

RED the whole tree 15 degrees over

YELLOW the top curve 25 degrees back the other way

BLUE make this a back branch

Pink cut off the inside curve bar branch, jin the one below it (its too low) and then the branch above that, lower to fill in the space and wire in some movement

cheers

Hi Jul,
Thanks a lot for your virtual and your guidance.
I had in mind something very similar, but you did it better and very clear in your virtual.
I am afraid that I cannot bend the trunk any more, but as the pic. is not 3D you cannot see all the existing curves.
For know I will leave the two lower branches until the tree will be more vigor.
At the beginning of March (spring over here), I will repot it, turn it, cut and jinn the lower branches and try to follow your virtual.

I think the top can be most certainly bent... but not with that size wire! You might need to use a copper wire about twice that gauge, and it would be helpful to wrap the area in raffia first

Regards,

Matt
