I really had no intentions of getting anymore trees but a friend invited me to his house to give him some advice on some he had recently bought. After seeing what he had I just had to have a few so he sold me two. Below are the before and after pics of the styling I did on them. Pay no attention to the pots they are now in since I didn't have anything suitable at the last minute. The trees will stay in these pots now until next repotting and by then I will have had plenty of time to get the perfect pots.
I had intended to make at least one of these a cascade but after looking closer I saw something better than that in each of these. I really dislike when people especially beginners see a juniper with a long whip and think they have found the ultimate cascade, and most yet when they leave both whips hanging and the tree looks like a Mohawk haircut, a new bonsai design I guess. :-(
Note: Not sure why that last pic is coming up, can't see how to delete it.
