Bought the below Chinese Juniper. Will put into a large pot or into the ground to thicken up considerably but in terms of it's future:
1) As you can see it's sort of a multi-trunk - realistically is that the only way to take this tree i.e. keep it as a multi trunk? I presume chopping off a few of the trunks will be too much of a shock and too much foliage lost?
2) Maybe a basic question but is achieving taper in the trunks done the same way as a Maple tree i.e. chopping and growing a new leader? Have got a couple of Juniper's but have bought them from bonsai nursery's in relatively "complete" state
Thanks for the help!
