i had chance to wrok on this huge juniper today, which would have gone to the tip. its got a long way to go, but at least its not in a skip!

an idea of scale

lots of major carving to do, but i'm jiggered now. lets hope it survives.

I love seeing your work Roy Smile

, you do really 'dare-to-go-in-there' and get on with it Smile

, brilliant, keep up the good work Smile

Another dismal day here, -4c overnight, and as there was plenty of sunshine yesterday, couldn't see your hand in front of your face this morning, dense fog. Now pouring with rain/sleet and snow mixed in with it, happy days Smile

Hi Mr Miyagi, when I'm happy that it has survived the ordeal, i will refine the top & as that was the only area with foliage I will be bending some branches downwards. Lots to do if it does survive, which I'm looking forward to.

Yeah,got a real challenge with that one.What kinda pot do you plan to use,or do you plan to keep it as a kinda ornamental tree in a large garden pot.
