First Cascade attempt.

[SubJeezy]

Wasn't able to get out fishing this weekend, so most of it was spent in the back yard. First attempt at a Cascade of any kind. Common Creeping juniper. Any and all criticism very much welcomed. I love the Cascade look and want to improve.

From a typical Common Juniper nursery plant. I broke the top 4 inches off of the informal upright portion, so I wired up the largest branch to take its place. Last 5 inches on the large Cascade was dead, so I figured I could try for some deadwood instead of just chopping it. Thought it would look good with 2 Cascade branches. Tell me how poor of an attempt it is

I think the descending piece with the jin needs much more movement. give it big bends! turn it at "random" points and then correct the flow.

I plan to in a month or so. Repoted it after wiring it so I want to give it a break. Thanks for the input! I'll definitely work on the movement
