Our weather is now warm enough to attempt the re-potting of junipers. The first up is my large Blauws Juniper, which I have been developing since 2011. The development of this tree can be viewed in my earlier posts here Part 1 and here Part 2.
The first picture shows the tree in its training pot just after it was wired last year.
I have decided it will fit in this nice Japanese oval that I acquired from my good friend Robert Porch last year.
Another step closer to where I would like it to be
It will probably need another season or 2 for the foliage to fill out the way I would like it but at the moment I am very pleased with its progress.
I like this viewing angle as it shows the movement of the trunk and the deadwood to best effect.
This is a reminder of how it looked in 2011.

Nice job on the tree. I really like the pot as well, Robert
Thanks Ben, I’ve got high hopes for this one
