Hi! I'm an 18 years old italian guy and I'm into bonsai since 2016. That's my first thread ever on this forum and I'm so excited.
I want to show you a brief evolution of this mame juniper that was gifted to me from a friend in 2018. It was already a 3 years old cutting.
Unfortunately I don't have a picture in 2018, but I have one made in march 2019 when I repotted it.
March 2019
Sorry but I just have this one of that period, the wire you see was already put by the friend who gave it to me to create a basic shape.
Then I've let it grow for almost two years and even if the second branch didn't grow that much it wasn't necessary for my idea of the final shape so on October 2020 I cleaned the needles and styled it for the first time!
Needles cleaned, before styling, October 2020
Post styling, October 2020
Notice that I've not cleaned all the needles, because I didn't want to overstress the plant.
What do you think? I'm opened to all kind of questions, doubts, perplexities and requests!
Have a nice week!
