Here's a little time line progress with a procumbens juniper beginning in 1998. This pic is the first styling after getting this $6 juniper home from the garden nursery.
I did nothing with this little guy for 5yrs, just water and fertilize, nothing else. The reason was to establish a branch structure so it would resemble as much as possible a tree and not a bush.
In 2002 I began to work it by opening it up and work with the branches I developed over the 5yrs.
Over the years this guy has had many different looks but here is one I really like showing mostly all mature scale foliage.
