Nice!
Plant it on top of your waterfall lol
But only if the roots fit tough would be a waste to kill it in the attempt !
Looks very healthy and ready for another cut back. You took the wire off it, right?Update from today. Tons of growth since last post.View attachment 178882View attachment 178883

I took the wries off right before i took the pictures. I was not expecring that much growth and forgot about the tree essentially. They dug in a fair bit but too concerned.
Rewire it in the opposite direction and let the new wire cut in as well - if it is growing that good you will end up with a really nicely "chewed up " looking bark It works ...

I like that idea. I was also thinking that yoi could leave the wire in permanently, causing the trunk to swell and heal over creatimg a twisted trunk look. Has anyone done this?

Im currently doing it with a few swamp cypress. In regards to the reverse taper i plan to carve those sections out and create deadwood.I just got a mugo pine that has been developped with this technique. It's a bit frowned upon. You'll always be able to see the scars and the twisty trunk is very recognisable. Problem is that you'll always create inverse taper at the root base.
Not sure if it's done alot with junipers...
