Japonicus
Masterpiece
I picked this Shore Juniper up yesterday $7 Not sure what's blue about it other than the name.
I set it back down, and got half way to the register with a Japanese Holly, and turned back around
and traded back to this little guy. The holly looked pretty good actually, but haven't made all my rounds yet.
Besides I have more than I can properly care for any way. I got a mugo pumilio too that's not noteworthy really.
Bonsai Nut says these junipers need a bit more training to be upright and send long branches.
The branches are a bit limpy but plenty of secondaries to cut back to which I will do when it starts pushing
new growth actively and hopefully control the internode length.
It just screamed I want to be a cascade when I picked it up like a little puppy wanting attention so I couldn't resist.
The longest tail or cascade apex is broken but not a problem. The upper apex had also been cut off
maybe broken too and trimmed up prior to trucking out. Anyway, when should I do what to this new recruit?
