Two words sum up this thread. "Garden Porn". That's what my wife calls it when I get nursery catalogs in the mail. "Honey you got some garden porn":eek:

This cutting was given to me as a gift. I removed about 20% of the tree, cut off about 80% of the roots and created the shari all in one sitting. A very small yamadori style shohin juniper. Due to shadows, the second pic makes it look a bit thicker than it is.

Thank you, you could get something similar. To not interupt the flow of this beautiful thread. I can send you a pm later with some information on how to go about it if you like.

Ficus microcarpa "Golde Gate"

Before 06/12
After 09/13

The "before, before" would have been many years ago and the picture would have been that of a cutting.
