Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Is this where I tell you about the tree?

Here goes....

juniperus chinensis var. shimpaku 1976
Tokoname Pot

This tree was acquired from a firend around 7 years ago. Since then I have refined its foliage and carved the jins in the lower section.

In this time, I frequently hire this tree for display in offices. I have also dropped a TV onto it!

It is one of my favourite trees in my collection, and I often show it off in my classes as a fair example of a semi cascade.

Thanks for voting for my tree, I am glad you like it.

Cheers,
Leigh.

Leigh a wonderful specimen worthy of display anywhere. Very well done.

Thanks Ash, much appreciated.

Just a question about the lovely juniper/azalea composition.
A great setting, I love it. Just wondering if the owner has any problems with the acidity requirments of azaleas and junipers in the same setting?

Cheers,
Leigh.

hi leigh, that juni/azalea is mine. they both thrive in the same conditions. i have had no prob. however it is a non flowering azalea.

Ledanta · 04-07-2008, 02:59 AM

Thanks Ant, is it the saotome? Do they share the same soil, or are they in different pockets?
