Picked this juniper up a few weeks ago, came from a guy who had it for 7 years but never styled it himself, he said he couldn’t figure out what to do with it. I believe it was probably styled before he got it as it had some really good bones to work with.
Here’s what I started with.
I decided to adjust the planting angle.

And several hours of wiring, pruning, and some light bending later

Plan to apply lime sulphur and I’m considering repotting to adjust the planting angle but I may wait on that. Is repotting after light styling in the same season too risky?
I’m torn on the bottom right branch. I’m leaning towards removing it and adding another Jin but I obviously haven’t committed to that yet. What do you all think?
