I’ve had this grocery store “mini Christmas tree” juniper for about 8 years and have watched trunk thicken and split over the years, and over the last 3 years the the inverse taper grew out and it looks pretty good now. The roots were really tight so I finally put it in something it can grow into.
I never really took photos of this tree, it was just on the bench as an experiment. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I believe I’ve had this for about 4 years and was never in a rush to pot it, and I really wasn’t planning on it, but it was a nice day at lunch so I took advantage. I haven’t seen to many ABS with a short trunk and decent branching, usually they’re pretty tall and straight. I didn’t have enough time today to pull down the branches on the left side (like they were in the training pot) so I’ll have to fix that tomorrow.

The best time of year!!

It’s that time of year! Tree saving time! I prepped these 2 last year and lucky enough the landscaping for the new house didn’t happen so I was able to keep both in the ground.

A little clean up, for now. I foresee a very hard chop in the future for this one.
