California Juniper no. 2.
This juniper was planted in the semi-cascade style. It is very vigorous and has put on a lot of top growth. The tree is 20 inches tall and has a spread of 24 inches. The trunk is 5" across at the base. I have included some shots of the cascade arm as seen from the end view from above. Virtual of canopies or branch structure shari's and jin are accepted. Have fun with this and additional views are only a camera shot away.

I love you Fred! This is by far my favorite of the three trees and the one with the most potential. I love what you have done and my only thing would be to make the apex triangle a little closer to the cascadeing part. Just squash it down maybe. Very good Fred.

Thanks, Al

It's hard to carve jins, lateral movement is difficult to control with a mouse.

If I were to dream this is where I would like to see it. Maybe in 10 years?

It looks like a pine tree now, Al.

Hi Al,

Really nice material! Here's my vision for the tree after some tinkering in photoshop.

All the best,

Aaron

I don't know Joanie.. if you squint your eyes and scroll down the page quickly they all pretty much look the same to me. Just subtle differences, but mostly the same.

Thats lookin pretty good Aaron...

I mean your foliage, Al. Like pine needle clusters instead of juniper. Looks great, but they look like green puffies. I'd like junipers better if they grew in green puffies.

Oh could be for all I know. Since we are just dreaming I might as well put pine foliage on my juniper just for good measure.
