Common Juniper Yamadori Juniper
Communis |
| The Juniper was originally collected by Robert Porch
in Scotland and apart from a repot and a small amount of carving,
the tree had not been styles. The vigour had been established though
so it was time to start a styling. Being Juniper this would take
around three years. There is an earlier picture which we are trying
to locate. |
This was the first styling when I bent the very tall
branch over |
this is the second year when the branches were placed. Craig
would establish the health and vigour meantime stage  |

| Juniper Old Gold
Restyle |
| Juniper Old Gold. Originally styled by Gary Marcha;l
from America. However the juniper was too long in the branches so
after recovering the vigour Craig brought the branch structure
nearer the trunk. I was now going to restyle the tree and get it
into shape. |
