cascade juiper

noissee · 03-28-2008, 06:39 PM

this is barely a cascade as it is, i drastically restyled this tree and have yet to repot it in a suitable pot, but i thought i might as well get some feedback before i did.

this is the planned front:

Well it looks a bit busy to me on the apex/top.
I would remove that top part that looks like a set of bird wings.
This is not a criticism on yer tree, but i would go for a full cascade, don't go mad at it, just remove most of it, you can always use the stumps? for a jin later on. Cheers.

yeah i know what you mean, it's just so hard to get rid of branches sometimes, i was hoping to maybe use them in someway, but you may be right...i might have to get rid of some of that stuff

What to do is, place a sheet of cardboared in front of the bird wings, sit back and look at it, if you think it improves your tree? out comes yer cutters and whack, gone!!
We all grow branches for one reason or another, but when the time comes they have to go, give it a try. Cheers.

You could also bend one of those branches up and create an apex out of it.

hmm you think so? the main branches are pretty stiff, but if you were thinkin of one of the secondary branches then maybe so.

Same as Prowler : I would remove the branches at the top and only keep the one that is cascading.

noissee · 04-03-2008, 09:52 AM

but there are those branches toward the back...

it comes out low over the pot. would i just leave that as it is?

It all depends on what style you are heading for.
Do a google and see if you find anything that you think is nice, just remember once it's chopped basicaly that's that.
So take your time, download as many pics. as you can then study them.
You, have to decide and just go for it, this can be a bit daunting to whack half your tree off, but needs be. Cheers.
