Parting gift from the Hidden Gardens. Jeff is a good guy. Anyone in the Chicago area should pay his nursery a visit!
Randy Knight collected Utah Juniper. Apparently the way Randy pots trees is that he'll stick the bottom of the root ball flat against the bottom of the pot. Meaning there could be a lot of trunk, nebari, and other features hidden.
This will definitely be a shohin tree. I will repot in fall or spring and probably give the tree a full growing season to build strength in lower foliage and give me more branching options. First styling will be done season 2 or 3. Nice chunky 4-5 inch base with hollow and Deadwood features. Will be a lot of fun!
Might do a light slip pot this summer and clear out some gunky soil on top so you can see the rest of the trunk better. Full repot will still be held off as temps will be too hot.
