Hello everyone,

First of all, I should point out that I am not a native english speaker, so I may not always be very understandable, and I am sorry for that.

I bought this juniper last year. I only cared on it and didn’t do any work on it.
But I have the feeling that it doesn’t seems very ??natural?? and not nice enough, maybe the trunk is too high because of the rock.



I have watched it from all sides and I can’t find a good solution for this tree.

So I am approaching you to find help, maybe good ideas or advices, in order to ??fix?? the problems in this juniper and to make it as beautiful as possible.

I Hope you can help me !

Best regards.

This tree needs to be thinned out a lot before any styling advise can be given. If one cannot see the trunk and branches its just not possible.

I think there are a quite nice tree in there. Would not be supriced if there are nothing to do to improve once thinned out.

I planned to change the pot this year in order to give it a bit more substrate and depth to grow well. My idea was to change the inclination to "break" the trunks verticality, would it be a good solution? Or should I keep it so?

Thanks in advance !

This tree is allready in an oversized pot, no need to uppot.

I dont understand the break the trunk thing. Anyway nobody can comment on style until foliage is thinned out and trunk and branches visible.

Helo Raphael!

First off, congratulations on keeping this Juniper so far, it seems very healthy.

To be honest, I like it the way it is... Trunk is on a good thickness, exposed roots looks good, and it seems that the branches has some good structure under there based on the picture from underneath.

I wouldn't bring the tree back into training stage, even because there is a rock there that already appeals a certain proportion, the tree being too big would blank out the rock, seems like it's pretty much on finishing stage, as tropfrog says you should refine it from there, because it's canopy is full right now (and that's a good thing, shows that the tree is healthy).

We can't say much about specific branches and such, as we can't see it's structure.

This is way too nice a tree to be styled over a forum.

Get someone who knows what he is doing to help you in person with this tree. DO NOT start thinning and trimming if you do not know what you are doing. The tree is in perfect shape to be styled for further developed, and trimming it in the wrong way can set you back several years.

I am assuming you are not near me, else you would be happy to stop by and we could look at the tree from all sides and discuss potential routes forward.
