RJG2's Shimpaku Juniper Contest Entry

[RJG2]

Here are my entry trees. Itoigawa starts from cutting (I assume).

Sourced from none other than @JEads - Left Coast Bonsai. I didn't want to lose a year taking cuttings or air layers from what I already have, and he was very generous offering a BOGO for contestants.

1 and 7 wired (we'll see if I can keep the numbering straight over 7 years ).



Trying something new on one of them: change in wire direction around a branch, so I can reverse the spiral. Worked okay.

A little gentler on 2 and 3. Just enough twist that future shari won't be too boring.
