Could I have some opinions please on these trees? Very much appreciated.
1st juniper Meyers in China mist pot. ?220
2nd another juniper ?150
3rd 名媛直播 Larch In An Ian Baillie Slab Pot ?250
I like the 1st juniper the best, the jins need some age but the tree appeals to me.
Many thanks

I can?t make up my mind by either one of them. They all seem healthy, with a relatively good nebari, good trunk movement, nice ramification... I?d say that the difference might be then marked by the price... I would probably go for the second juniper. Besides, junipers are a classic topic in bonsai... That said, I would have a rather hard time choosing between them... If you have the money to spend and the skills to take good care of them, it is a nice dilemma.

Thanks for your thoughts Alain, appreciated. This would be my first bonsai, been looking for a while. Is rather get a bigger tree than many small ones as I've little space so won't be getting many.
I've read a few books so sure I won't kill it, styling etc I'll learn as I go

The second I do not like at all. I would probably go for the first.
Do not buy this if you do not have experience.
Having read a few books is nothing compared to seeing your first tree wilt without you knowing what you did. Experience in taking care of trees in pots is something you cannot read from a book, IMNSHO

Thanks for your feedback leatherback, I didn't like the second either, I thought there was no nebri at all and I didn't like the full length shari.
Can I ask how does someone get experience before buying apart from a club?
I only use the books etc for a general knowledge, I would research the tree species.
Thanks for your help
