Mountain NANA

[jriddell88]

I wanted to share a juniper I received last year. Can't seem to find the old pictures , but it was a complete ground shrub , so I did a rough styling last winter.I pulled it out today to treat deadwood. The jin was created and i decided to do something a little different with the tree. Slip potted it to get a better look at the trunk and nebari. It's a start I'm not much for full cascades or juniper procumbens for that matter, but this one is interesting. Let me know what ya think!

I'm normally not into cascades either but you did a great job with this one!

No, I think it is more dynamic and more engaging if left long.

Agreed, it helps balance the composition. Maybe a little bit of detail carving but it shouldn't need much!

I like it short.

If the jin was shortened to the left edge of the pot....it would look even better.

Nice.
