Here’s how I’ve spent my free time over the past week or two. This was mostly about setting branches at the right angle and getting foliage laid out for efficiency and backbudding. I’m hopeful to see this one get into a pot that it deserves come spring.

That's a sweet tree, what's its back story, where did you get, how old? Just curious, thanks!

This one originally came from Chikugo-en and the Ishii family. A local shop brought in a handful of them.

Had to Google that garden, makes me wish I were talking a Cali trip in the near future - found an interesting article on those junipers they're doing, learned something new today.
Thanks,
Brent
