Needle juniper update.

[Joshua Diaz]

The first needle juniper was worked on originally with Matt Reel about 3 years ago. I have worked with Jonas as well. I finally was able to put it in a nice pot. Not the ideal one but it will do for now. I have more branches than I need in the right side of the tree. I will come back in the summer and make some decisions. The second one has been a little experiment just playing around with things and hopefully in the future I will be able to compact it more and have it fill in nicer. I recently acquired this double trunk needle juniper definitely needs some tlc. I will feed heavily and wait for next year to see how it fills in. The last one is a shore juniper. Let me know what you think of it.

@William N. Valavanis are these the same foliage as yours?

I like Tosho quite a bit, but I really don't enjoy working on them! One is plenty for me...

Yeah I can agree! The foliage is the same I think comparing yours to mine. Do you know of anyone else in the states that has needle juniper ?

i did a quick small style in this guy I am pretty torn to cut off the first two branches and just using the top part of the tree I also don’t know if I like the current front or the back but none the less I just needed to put some movement on the branches. I think I have more branches than in need but I will see down the road thank you for your time. P.S wiring is not perfect still learning.

Joshua,
Can I ask where you acquired your needle junipers? I’m assuming the first two trees are Juniperus rigida. I’m discovering that Juniperus rigida are pretty rare in the U.S. but, I’m not sure why.
