I finally got around to finishing the last round of work on the this tree.

Since i wrote the last update on this tree i have been slowly adjusting some of the deadwood and mulling over various adjustments and future plans.

It really needed an angle change and a better pot. As luck would have it I have just got back from a trip to Japan where I found a pot I thought might work well with this tree.

Upon arriving home, being at the beginning of re-potting season I got straight into getting this tree into its new container. I think it is a good fit. I like the colour, shape and size and it should leave a decent amount of soil available for the tree to grow strongly and fill in over the next season.

I messed around with fronts and planting angles a fair bit and landed on the above.

It’s so good to have the tree now potted at what is at least very close to the final angle and into a pot that is much nicer proportioned than it’s previous home.

I am glad i re-potted this tree this season as i found a lot of old garden soil in close to the trunk that i was able to remove and replace with bonsai mix. It should set things up for a bright future.

I have a number of other junipers i will be grafting in the next couple of months and will try to get pics as i do. It is a great way to produce bonsai material as you can see from the above tree.
