Garden centre Juniper

Hi, Back in March i bought some commen junipers from my local garden centre at a fiver a pop. I have lots of other tree's but none i could do much with as i was looking for something i could style strait away. I have been tending container tree's for about five years now, learning what makes them tick and so on. Now i would say i am gaining the confidence to start trasining some of the stock i have so here goes.

This is one of the Junipers as it was when i took it home.

and after a lot of looking and snipping here and their

I eventually ended up doing this to the tree

This is of course by no means the final product but i thought it has the makings of a pretty looking bonsai.

And so on-to the next one.

After a lot of looking and snipping, going away and coming back again i almost decided to turn this one in to a wind swept style but i dont really like them.

And so i ended up with this, i have to say i think i would have preffered the wind swept style now but you live and learn and for a fiver you cant really go wrong.

I will post updates on these as they grow, i just have to learn how to control the growth of the needles and styleing of the pads

Please feel free to offer any comments you wish as i listen to any constructive input you leave.
