A few months back I spent a day wiring out this Blue Alps Juniper which was both tedious and painful. Even worse was that today I spent the morning removing the wire which was even more tedious and just as painful. Although the results were worth it. The branches showed very little scaring and held their position without the wire. In a word it was a success.

I have big plans for this tree even though it is not one of my larger bonsai.  This looks to be the tree that is pretty much ready for show, so it will be this year’s entry for the 2010 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival.  In fact, this will probably be the photo I submit.  Over the next few months I’ll work to clean up the branches even more and fill in a few bare spots.  That upper right branch could still use a bit of thinning.
