It seems to be a Chinese juniper, about 3-4 years old according to the seller. My issues/questions are:
- What is this shape? When it came, the end of the long main branch was curved up vertically which looked weird, so I've bent it out more into a semi-cascade. It's still quite flexible at the end so it could go down more. Should it?
- The main wire looks way too thick to me. It's almost the same size as the trunk. I'm guessing I should replace this?
- Similar to the first point, any ideas on styling? The curvature of the main branch looks very weird to me. Would I be better off cutting he main truck and styling it from about half way, abandoning the excessive curvature of the main branch towards what is now the end?
Any and all advice welcome guys! I'll take more photos if needed.
