For the first time, I tried to shape a juniper tree I bought in tree nursery shop. For a total beginer I do not want to buy expensive pre-bonsai, so I try to find something cheap.

After trimming a lot of green and brunches, I wired it and shaped it in a way I thougt it is OK. In my oppinion, brunches are still to long, but I will shorten them next time.

Brown stick on a photo supports the top of tree to becam more vertical. Original is more horizontal.

Please tell me if I'm doing it right? And if not, is there anything to make it better.

Some pictures are below.

I am trying to achive shape similar to this:

think you took of too much...

Will this be to big shock for the tree?

We'll have to wait and see.

and I was asking you, if there is any other brunch to cut off :whistle:

Your plant will be fine. Just don't do a lot to it now and let it grow a bit..

This was my plan at the begining. I hope there will be some new green near the trunk, to shorten botom brunches next time.

health wise it should be ok.. but i just think you could have done a lot more with the styling..

if you pruned so much to get backbudding.. quite unlikely to happen on a juniper..
have have to get by with the foliage you have..

i would just suggest to prune away all foliage at the downside of the branches.. you don't want pads/growth to go downward, you want them upward..

It may shock the viewers.

I've never done it before.
I did not prune any foliage closer to the trunk. There was none. That's why I left longer brunches with some foliage at the end. I saw some extreme cut of junipers with back budding, and I was hopeing this will happen with this one. For now I'll leave it.

I can not argue with that. You probably never made any mistake when learning about bonsai? As I said. It is my very first attemp. It will be succsess for me, if the tree will survive my "operation".

Can you please look at my other post, about Acer? I do not want to repeat my mistakes.

Thanks.
