Here's one of 4 procumbens I purchased a few years ago. All four were badly neglected and I purchased for about $25 each.
As purchased in the summer or fall (I can't quite remember) of 2017
A cut back in the summer of 2018:
I repotted in the spring of 2019 and did some additional cut back.
Decided to try my hand at an initial style over the past week or so...
I like working w/ these trees because they respond very well to training, but the foliage leaves a lot to be desired, especially if you've worked a lot w/ shimpaku and other good foliage junipers. None the less, these procumbens have taught me plenty about design, wiring, etc and I'm happy w/ the progress. I might graft some shimpaku in the future. Critiques always welcome!
