Randy Knight collected RMJ -- First Styling

[Scriv]

Hey All,

First styling on this Randy Knight collected Rocky Mountain Juniper.





RMJ's have been made famous by Mirai and are notorious for their gnarled trunks and incredible deadwood. But the foliage is very fine and leggy & the vascular tissue is easy to damage, so every bend, every cut, every piece of wire requires an extra level of care and precision. Not a huge fan to be honest, much prefer California's or Sierra's. But was a fun challenge nonetheless.

If you have 5 minutes to spare... go check out the video I spent 1,433,423 hours making and leave a comment so the YT algorithm doesn't bury the video.

I love the part at 04:01 - 04:02! It's true to color!
Again, amazing videography! Nice choice of music too.

Do I need to say you did a good job on the plant? I think you know!

I love it and I’m a fan of the foliage. Sure I like dense pads too but this is its own style

For sure. Love the final product on a well styled RMJ, just a bear to work with as almost every tertiary piece needs wire.
