Studio Stories – Juniper Procumbens….. bush to tree!

Sometimes I work on nursery trees, sometimes I work on client’s trees……and sometimes if I’ve been a really good boy I get to work on my own trees. Hopefully these regular visits will give you an insight into what goes on behind closed doors……….

Studio Stories – Juniper Procumbens…..bush to tree!

When this tree arrived for sale on the nursery it really was just an incredibly large bush. The foliage mass overpowered the pot and the trunk….in fact the latter was difficult to see.

I had to do a lot of serious pruning to redefine the mass of greenery and expose the trunk. I have still left it larger than it needs to be to keep the tree strong and healthy. It is already sprouting back strongly so now I can start to refine the image further.

The tree can now be put out for sale looking much more attractive and appealing!
