Little Shimpaku - Should I reduce deadwood? was created by Clicio

Posted 6 years 3 weeks ago #45843
Hello, fellows;

As I was working on this small juniper (shohin-to-be) it occurred me this piece of deadwood (difficult to see on the picture, but it twists towards the front of the tree) is a little too long.
I've been wondering if I get the Dremel and shorten it at the red line.
Thoughts?

Got the same idea as LB: keep it, give it some good twists, jin it.

If it doesn't work out... you can always cut it later.
