Hi JJ,

Nice little Junipers you got there! Can't wait until my society has another Juniper workshop, I missed the last, but apparently it was brilliant!

What are the scales etc on these trees? Can you put a lighter, or pint glass next to them and take a pic for size comparison?

I'm a little concerned about the bulk of the Jins, Don't get me wrong, I think they're great! But if they are as thin as they look, they will probably become detached in the future very easily, it might be wise to grow a sacrifice Jin branch alongside a couple of them, one that you allow to grow and thicken, and you can wire to shape. Then in a couple of years, when it has some weight to it, you can jin it.

Just an idea while they're still at this stage and in training pots.

Cheers

-Matt-
