I actually really like what you did here. It has nice movement, pad arrangement and is nicely compacted. I'm no expert, but I really dig your juniper.

Don't be so tied to this first styling that you don't go back and prune out bad structure. From the profile, it looks good.

I love the cascade !:cool:! Hope to wire on mine this year it's a procumbens though.
This one needs some movement in the cascading branch next time. Maybe a branch bender?
Going to be a kick ass tree. Just the way it comes out of the soil rocks.
There, it would be an excellent shari location up front if possible.

I like what you did, but the bottom 1/3 seems a bit to busy. Cascades should taper down towards the end of the drop......at least in my perspective.

There's a quick fix to this and the movement I eluded to above...
There are TWO cascades herein. One is thick and pretty straight, the other one would be so well suited for this.
It would be a huge improvement to jin the thick bottom cascade, and use the upper tapering one that comes down
which has wire on it.

On the trunk is a double coil of wire just over the pots rim, just beyond that is a single coil out the upper cascade.
I would now, add a guy wire, one that can be torqued over time and bring that in closer so when the time comes
the upper cascade is in place, where the lower one is now, and jin the lower one. Talking a couple years out maybe?
I am curious where and when this was purchased @BoostedBonsai. Keep a log or journal :)
