Everyone has had it happen at some point. You're in your first year. You've joined a bonsai club. Someone hands you a freshly potted juniper cutting. Is there potential?
I thought you guys might like to see just such a progression from a little rooted juniper cutting I was given at one of my first bonsai club meetings.
Here we are. Our rooted cutting in July of 2018, roughly 6 to 8 months after I received it.
Then in September and October of 2018 I got brave and tried my hand at wiring.
I spent most of the time between stylings fertilizing with 6-6-6- Dr Earth (fertilizing my developing trees different these days) Here we are in Spring of 2019
We got very bushy and by October of 2019 it was time for another round of pruning and wiring.
October 2019 after Wiring:
Starting to come together and look like something now....
By spring of 2020 I wanted to get it into a "Real" pot.
I repotted into this shallow Japanese rectangle.
By September of 2020 it was looking pretty happy in its new container.
