| Here is a large Juniper that I rescued from a construction site close to work. The workers thought I was nuts... trying to uproot this monster in business casual attire right after it rained. However, I did not forget my spade, pick-axe, a lopper, and a pair of old sneakers to do the job with in the wet mud. I was being eyed upon with my toys as if I was in a zoo on the other side of the cage. Well, it was either now or never for this tree because it was soon going to be uprooted by a small crane and into a dumpster. Take a look and let me know if the effort was worth it... I think it has a lot of potential. Dimensions: 27" height, 6" base, 4.5 feet canopySide 1: Side 2: Top view: - Aman | |

| Aman,
Good that you have dug out this monster..... it has the makings of a potential bonsai.

| The juniper is showing signs of growth. I think it should be strong enough to work on styling next year. Here is another view of the trunk: - AH | |

| Here is another angle the tree might look good in (I finally got the whole tree in the picture). And here is a virtual of a possible future. Although I prefer cascade, this angle balances the weight towards the center and will be a lot easier to maintain and repot in the future. - AH | |
