bonsai barry
Omono
I bought this juniper from George Muranaka's fields. I was attracted to its nice base. I originally intended to cut it by about 2/3's and make it a shohin (this smaller tree isn't apparent in the photo). George thought that it was a mistake to lose the long 180 degree curve in the trunk. My thought is that it is too unnatural looking.
I am also considering cutting off the top half and using the first large branch on the left as the top of a leaning tree.
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Will accept ideas and criticisms until next spring.
