Styling options for this tree was limited. It was destined to end up as a fairly mediocre shohin tree unless i thought outside the box. Working with what the tree had i decided to style it to mimic the growth habits of ancient oaks. Similar to this http://www.louisianagardenclubs.org/live_oak_society/photos_files/AngelOak.jpg . I know its nothing like what junipers look like in nature so its not really bonsai more like topiary. :)
