This is the initial styling of a 20 yr. old shimpaku. It was purchased in early June in a 2 gal. nursery container. Since it was very pot-bound, I slipped it into a 3 gal. container to make due until this coming Spring. At that point, I'll move into into a training pot. Some of the branches still need to go. Others will tuck in a little tighter to follow down the flow of the trunk and the shari will probably be elongated a bit. The odd exposed root at the base will go once I see how much is connected. It has a fairly nice (for a juniper) nebari, otherwise.
A small unglazed, reddish nanban pot has been recommended. Suggestions are welcome.

Kirk
