Nana Juniper

Here's a Procumbens Nana I picked up at the REBS show back in August. I gave it's first styling recently. I think it has a pretty bright future. I intend to continue developing the deadwood on the trunk. It will probably have extensive shari eventually. As you can see I have removed a whole lot of foliage so need to let it settle in before anymore branch removal. That being said, I may eliminate more to simplify the image. Let me know what you think. Any suggestions are quite welcome

Rough idea of where I'm going with this

I like it so far. How big is it?

It's probably considered Chuhin size. About 18" to 20" or so

I think if you add a ribbon of shari twirling from the base to the top would look good as well.

Yes!! That may be in the works!

My teacher made some adjustments to my styling. Here's some pictures from other angles too.

Very nice

The nebari and the curves of the trunk on the third photo are the most beautiful i feel .

Interesting. We had never considered that as a front but now maybe I'll give it some thought. Thanks!

I agree the base and bottom 3rd of truck look best in third image, but the top 2/3rds of the trunk is strait, taperless and boring.
Your original front, #1 (after teacher adjust) the trunk has wonderful movement and taper all the way to the top
My 2 cents, nice job by the way!
